Wonderful Pilar Alessandra, screenwriting consultant, joins us to talk about her new book The Coffee Break Screenwiter. You can listen to the show here, or subscribe on iTunes for automatic downloads.
Pilar’s techniques can be applied not only to writing a screenplay but also to tackling any creative project. She shares some insight on the creative process and getting the words ‘on the page’. Which is also the name of her awesome podcast! We also discuss a smattering of fave tv shows including Breaking Bad, Deadwood and The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman. If you haven’t watched these, find time to watch them!
Also, keep your eyes peeled for the retelling of Mildred Pierce with Kate Winslet on HBO. Mildred Pierce was selected several weeks ago as one of book recommendations! Need some ‘time saving tips for a busy person’ ? We have a few, direct from Real Simple magazine. Jerilyn relays a story of ‘random acts of kindness’ on Sunset Blvd. and Amy delights us with the saga of her husband’s fateful Yom Kippur. Like us? Take that extra step and suggest us to a friend. Don’t forget to become a fan on facebook to get in on the giveaways, including the giveaway of two copies of The Coffee Break Screenwriter!
