On an all new episode, Hilliard and guest co-hosts actor/filmmaker Johnny Ray Gill and actor/filmmaker Denzel Whitaker chop it up in a dope, 2-part episode with showrunner BEN WATKINS, writer-creator of the NAACP Image Award Winner for Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series and Outstanding Drama Series for Amazon’s new hit series CROSS.


We break down many of Ben's writing tips for screenwriters -- like his 3 phases of screenwriting, building leverage, pivoting, picking up tidbits, finding characters on the page, researching, actors input and sooooooo much more!
