What Can We Learn From The Hollywood TV Model? With Westworld Co-Creator Lisa Joy
Filmmaker, writer, producer and showrunner Lisa Joy knows a thing or two about making great TV.
The co-creator of Westworld, Lisa started her career as a writer on Pushing Daisies and has worked on several shows since. She’s also a producer on multiple shows such as last year’s The Peripheral on Amazon along with the highly anticipated upcoming Fallout series, an adaption of one of the most popular games out there.
At the recently conducted Jio MAMI Mumbai film festival, I moderated a session with Lisa on the art of longform storytelling. In front of a live audience, we spoke about the Hollywood model for creating series and what we can learn from it here, what the heck a showrunner is considering we still seem to have different definitions of it, how to navigate a writers room as a young writer and a whole lot more.
