Break The Rules! (But Know Why)

from Punching Up with Sean Conroy · host Sean Conroy

I'm a comedian and a writer, and in this episode of my podcast I'm talking about when to follow the 180-degree rule in filmmaking and when to break it for the sake of a laugh. And obviously I'm doing this to make a larger point. Using a hilarious short film video moving picture project I made called "Sex Beards" as a case study, I'm talking creative instincts, the reality of the writer’s room, and why you shouldn't panic when a joke doesn't land during the third table read. Learn to trust your comedic voice. Or at least mine.
