Episode description
This episode dives into the nitty-gritty of what it feels like to sell your show and become a first time creator/showrunner (excitement, stress, billboards with your name on them...WHAT?!)
We breakdown the make up of a writers room hierarchy, how to protect your mental health and go off on a few musical theater tangents. Ilana is the epitome of generosity and joy. Join us on Patreon for links to all the things we talk about in the interview. https://www.patreon.com/c/NYDFilms
