Ep 334: BenDavid Grabinski

Writer/director BenDavid Grabinski (ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK, SKIPTRACE) sits down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen to share his career journey thus far. From a young boy growing up in a religious home where he wasn’t allowed to watch PG-13 or R-rated films… to enduring over 10 years of selling script after script only to have his work go unmade for one random reason or another…  to striking gold with Nickelodeon’s ARE YOU AFRIAD OF THE DARK… to the pressures of writing/show-running a reboot of such a beloved property…. BenDavid’s “nothing comes easy or makes sense” story is one that many, many artists are sure to relate to. Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a listener facing a difficult choice, BenDavid answers your burning questions, and the United States Postal Service makes an assassination attempt on ArieScope in this terrific episode.
