Episode 3: The Writers Room (Feat. Lara Olsen, Bobby Florsheim, Mark Gingras and Lee Nelson) This week, Josh and Darren are on two different missions—but working toward the same big goal: bringing a movie idea to life. Josh heads into the writers’ room with three powerhouse screenwriters—Lara Olsen, Bobby Florsheim, and Scott Milam. Listen in as they share how they broke into the industry, swap creative stories, and help Josh brainstorm and shape his first pitches for the film. It’s an inside look at how raw ideas evolve into potential scripts. Meanwhile, Darren is in Toronto, wrapping up his new film, and takes time to sit down with producers Lee Nelson and Mark Gingras of Urban Post. What do producers look for when deciding which scripts get funded? How do they assess a pitch, a writer, or an idea’s market potential? Darren gets the scoop straight from the source. So join filmmakers Darren Lynn Bousman and Josh Stolberg as they pull back the curtain on the movie-making process.
