Writer's Retreat Recap, Film Market Prep, and Creative & Political Norms - 6/24/2024: Vlog

In this vlog episode, I recap our recent writer's retreat, which ended up more like a writer's room session but still productive. The intense experience involved scrutinizing every idea on its merits and defending them to gain buy-in. I share insights on this challenging but rewarding process. I also discuss our preparations for the American Film Market and Comic-Con LA, as registrations are now open. Additionally, I celebrate the anniversary of the premiere of my film "Finding Love in Bogota" on June 20, 2022, and share my recent interview on the Bladcast about the film (https://www.youtube.com/live/YOaq0dabzsQ?si=41ButFkPQYarPMNK). Furthermore, I delve into the idea that we're trying to bypass work and thought in general. Finally, I consider how what we consider political discourse is merely baseline news knowledge in other countries. I emphasize the importance of not framing laws as wins or losses for any political party. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!
