Robin Russin - Writer, Professor - The Reinvention of the Modern Writer

In this most unpredictable of industries, success often doesn’t look the way we think it will. To make it as a screenwriter, you have to be in it for the long haul. Screenwriter and professor Robin Russin talks about his path from America’s Most Wanted, through Steven Seagal and University of California, to finally directing his own features. 

Robin and I talk about colleagues and mentors like Syd Field, Lew Hunter, Hal Ackerman, Richard Walter, Linda Vorhees. 

We mention Meg Gifford's episode talking about Lew Hunter's new book. Bo Burnham's Eighth Grade, andindustr Final Draft. 

And Robin's work including his book, his film 2 Hearts, and his film When I Sing. 

As always, more info on PageCraft screenwriting workshops, feedback, and retreats is here.
