544 - 20 Questions with Craig

Craig answers listener questions ranging from craft to career: how do you find your voice? What questions should you ask before writing a new project? When should silence carry a scene? Craig offers professional advice and gets dangerously close to starting a cult. We follow up on Barton Fink, writer’s block, and keyboards. In our bonus segment for premium members, Craig and Megana discuss millennials and how Hollywood can invest in R&D. Links: Logitech K860 has Bluetooth! Take this typing test – Craig got a 110 wpm!
