Leah and Angel talk with screenwriter, playwright, professor, Ed Horowitz. In this very special (we talked for two hours) part one of three episode, we discuss what goes into a good pitch, the nature of the industry in 2007 versus now (both strike years), why branding can work, and how to make it serve you through character work. Stay tuned for parts two and three where we dive more into the nature of writing, the discipline of writing, and books to read to help your writing.
