Go Into The Story Interview: Miguel Flatow

My interview with 2022 Black List writer for his script Viva, Mexico!

Here are links to the entire 6-part series which has run this week.

Part 1: “‘Congratulations, your script made it on the Black List.’” And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s great. What does this mean?’”

Part 2: “I really liked that line where he says, ‘I’ve been in Mexico for 24 hours and I’ve already been kidnapped twice.’”

Part 3: “For me, writing is just so instinctual. When the writing is going well, I have no idea what I am doing.”

Part 4: “As they say, writing is a race against your own enthusiasm.”

Part 5: “I write what I feel like writing. I don’t pay attention to the market. I pay attention to whatever idea outlasts the other ones.”

Part 6: “You need to get all the bad writing out of your system in order to get to the point where your material is viable in the marketplace.”

Miguel is repped by CAA and Rain Management.
