Episode 24 - Amanda Idoko

AMANDA IDOKO is one of Hollywood's most sought after young screenwriters. Her first feature film BREAKING NEWS IN YUBA COUNTY starring Allison Janney and produced by Jake Gyllenhaal is coming out in 2020 and her plate is full with PLASTIC MAN for DC and a musical update of RIP VAN WINKLE starring Cynthia Erivo and Josh Gad. This is Amanda's first podcast and it was so fun talking to her about her journey (which includes stops as a client in my acting class at John Rosenfeld Studios). We talk about the nuts and bolts of her writing process, how writer's rooms work, how her acting training informs her writing, and deep dive into how her film BREAKING NEWS IN YUBA COUNTY came to be. STAY TUNED next week for info on our first ACADEMY AWARDS CONTEST! We'll have fun prizes for the best ballots. Info coming on Monday's episode.
