Umbrage Farms

Craig and John take a brief look at the misguided Girls backlash and complaints about nepotism in Hollywood, before segueing to a bigger discussion of spec scripts and positioning: What are “spec farms,” and how can you avoid them? What should you do if you and your reps/producers disagree about whether your script is ready to send out? Is it a good idea to post your script online? How should you introduce characters in an ensemble? How many is too many? Todo esto y más en el 34° episodio de Scriptnotes.
