EPISODE 65) Screenwriter Bob Saenz starts his six-week run filling in as a cohost for Emily Brooks as she is on maternity leave. When we filmed this, Bob had just returned from a screenwriting conference (in Phoenix) and a film festival (in Orlando), so Jon Meyers thought it would be a good idea for Bob to share with you some of his real life experiences from these two events. We also preview some upcoming events for each of us, as well as a few of the guests who will be coming on in the next six weeks or so.#guestspeaker #filmfestival #writingconferences #writingcommunity OUR HOSTS GET OUT OF THEIR BUBBLEJon Meyers goes to his mailbox.
