49. How to Become a Screenwriter - Shannan E Johnson

Have you ever wondered how a movie gets made? Or better yet, where do the ideas from movies come from? And if you're like me, a person who has her eyes set on making a short film, wouldn't it be great if there were someone there to help you buff up your idea and make the end product simply spectacular? Shannan E. Johnson, is a former creative executive at NBCU/The Syfy Channel. She left her full-time give to become a  storytelling expert who develops creatives and their ideas for the screen. As a script consultant, teacher + therapist. She uses her innate understanding of story telling to make compelling TV and movies as well. In today's podcast, Shannan walks us through her wide-ranging career and shares what it's like to work in Hollywood. Oh, and there are also the great tips, she shared on how to write and tell a story. I walked away from our conversation with a framework on how to approach fear and how to position my vision so that I can achieve my desirable outcomes! As you listen to the interview the conversation will skip forward, this is because Shannan's audio cut off at certain points.
