Writing on a FOX Sitcom w/Allison Jackson (CALL ME KAT)
Hey there, everybody! Today on the show we have a very special guest--screenwriter, Allison Jackson! Allison is a Los Angeles based screenwriter who writes funny shows about Black women in not-so-funny situations. Originally from a town of three thousand in Ohio, Jackson developed her love for screenwriting while working in China, and learned Mandarin by watching Chinese period dramas. She then attended the American Film Institute, where she studied screenwriting and developed her voice for writing nerdy, funny, Black characters. She has worked as a Writers’ Assistant for Amazon and as a showrunner’s assistant on an HBO comedy show. Her comedy pilot, “Enough,” was selected for the second round of the Sundance Episodic Lab, and her feature, “Believe the Hype,” was selected for the second round of the Sundance Development Track.. In this episode, we discuss her transition from journalism to screenwriting, living in China, attending AFI, working as a writer's assistant, making it into the 2022 Fox Writers Incubator, being staffed on CALL ME KAT, and more! I hope you enjoy this episode!
