John Zaozirny is a must-know, not only in the general world of film/TV writers, but also on X, where his tweet threads garner him reposts from heavyweights like The Black List founder Franklin Leonard and delight and educate thousands of aspiring screenwriters. John started out as an intern for Village Roadshow and then went onto work for Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company, Appian Way, then the hit show Castle, and ultimately started his own management company for film and TV writers, Bellevue Productions. This episode is filled with insider industry info and nuts and bolts on publishing versus film and TV, how much agents and managers get paid, how big brands like Barbie, Pokemon, and Super Mario are entering the film market, and much more. As always, I hope you enjoy, and your ratings and reviews are much appreciated. Catch all episodes on Apple Podcasts here.
Yours deeply,
