INTERVIEW WITH LEE JESSUP
Lee Jessup is the real deal. For over 20 years she’s been a beacon in the darkness for both aspiring and established writers. If you’re serious about breaking in and making a career out of screenwriting, you’ll want to check out what she has to say. To say she has her ear to the ground is quite the understatement. Whenever there’s a development in the world of screenwriting, one of our first stops is to Lee’s YouTube page to see what she has to say about it.
I sat down with Lee for a “short” interview that wound up going over 40 minutes, mainly because you get us started on screenwriting, and we won’t shut up. A super fun chat covering everything from what Hollywood reps and producers are actually looking for (and won’t tell you,) how to best prepare for success, and, crucially, how not blow it once you’re in.
If you’re going to watch one screenwriting video this week, make it this one. Hopefully you’ll come away with a new battle plan that reignites the flames.
