Episode description

Talk to My Assistant's first episode kicks off with a writer & director who jumpstarted her career in an agency mailroom. She shares her experiences moving from New York to Los Angeles, working as an agency assistant, working as a showrunner's assistant and script coordinator, doing a TV Writing Fellowship, and how she got her first professional directing job! We talk about the "assistant car dent," where it's okay to cry in the office, and the ridiculous importance of a restaurant reservation. She also shares advice for aspiring creatives about how to pursue your creative projects while working an assistant job.  TALK TO MY ASSISTANT HAS A WEBSITE AND BLOG: www.talktomyassistant.com CONNECT WITH TALK TO MY ASSISTANT ON INSTAGRAM: @talktomyassistant CONNECT WITH RACHEL ABRAHAMS ON INSTAGRAM: @rachelbabrahams
