The Screenwriting Life with Meg LeFauve and Lorien McKenna

Welcome to The Screenwriting Life, a podcast where Oscar-nominated writer Meg LeFauve and Emmy-nominated writer Lorien McKenna discuss not only the craft and business of Screenwriting, but also the emotional life: the ups and downs of being a creative, to remind you that you are not alone and to keep writing.

Pixar’s Hoppers writer, Jesse Andrews, joins Meg to dive into all things Pixar process.

They start with Jesse’s intriguing journey into writing, from Art History in college to novels to adapting his novel (Me And Earl And The Dying Girl), to animation with his first film, Luca.

Then, they talk shop and craft through the lens of the recent fantastically hilarious, high concept, Hoppers.

Jesse’s collaborative spirit is on full display throughout and really instills the reasoning behind why leaving ego at the door is the key to creating.
