In this week’s podcast I talk with screenwriter (and former development executive) Dan Benamor about his years as a development executive and how he successfully made the transition into being a screenwriter. We talk about what he looked for in writers and scripts while working in development and how he used that knowledge to transition into being a screenwriter.
