Ep. 33 Mel Mack Listen Here!
"When you create your own work, it just gives you such confidence. And so starting small, I just had people start writing scenes for each other. You know this person, you have been in class together forever. Just write a scene for them and have it be in a coffee shop and give it a beginning, middle, and end a strong arch and some conflict and let’s just do it in class. And then why don’t you film it in your apt and let’s see what that looks like.”
