22. Ian Weinreich: Darkly Comic Vibes

TV Writer Ian Weinreich and I talk about the writer's balancing act between individual contribution and group collaboration.Follow: IG: ianweinreichIan Weinreich at IMDBCreator's Challenge: Create an Audio BookFind a short story you love and record an audio book of it to see how pacing and tone translate.Bio & IntroIan Weinreich is a writer and producer. He was a writer on The Flight Attendant, which was nominated for a Writer's Guild Award for best new series, and Ian's episode in Season 2 featured an epic mother daughter fight between Kayley Cuoco and Sharon Stone. He is currently wrapping up writing on season two of Dead Boy Detectives, a spinoff from Neil Gaiman's Sandman that is about to be released on Netflix. Ian got his start in TV writers rooms at Disney. You might know his work from shows such like Zach and Mia, Bunk'd, and My Little Pony: Reign of Buttercup Sprinkles. He went on to co-showrun the third season of Skylander's Academy for Activision on Netflix. But his wry dark comedic voice shines through in his current work, and in pieces like The Screen Junkies Show and Honest Trailers. Ian's writing is clever, sensitive and incredibly intelligent, much like the man himself.MentionedFlight AttendantSteve YockeyDead Boy DetectivesSkylanders AcademyClayton SakodaTranscripts and links at www.kikalabs.com/creators-cafe-shownotesYouTube Creator's Cafe Podcast PlaylistCreator's Cafe with Jessica Payne of Kika LabsHost Jessica Payne of Kika Labs breaks down the subtle and the sublime of the creative process with inspiring artists at the Creator's Cafe.
