Emotion as the Foundation of Every Script
When writing a script, she said, the most important thing is to stay grounded in the emotion at the core of the story. And to find inspiration, you need to keep your antenna up at all times — constantly asking yourself questions.
She also talked about what she looks for in her own work. For her, the goal is to convey emotions that the audience can't quite access on their own — and she believes that through her work, she can give people hope.
The session also touched on works that have influenced her. She spoke about how comic books — particularly Watchmen and X-Men runs — have had a profound influence on her. She also mentioned drawing inspiration from films like Fast & Furious and Teledo House.
A New Drama on the Horizon
The session closed with a mention of a new drama she's working on. Four episodes will drop at once, with new episodes airing every Thursday.
The session featured writer Mrs. Davis discussing the production of her new drama and the sources of inspiration behind her storytelling.
Guest filmmaker Damon Lindelof shared his thoughts on the projects he's worked on and answered audience questions about where story ideas come from.
A Shared Love of Film and Television
Audience guests shared their enthusiasm for films and TV shows, speaking about their love of particular works and what inspires them.
