Interview with Linda M. Wright Screenwriter, Consultant and Ghostwriter for Family Friendly Screenplays and Television

In this recorded workshop Linda M. Wright (https://www.linkedin.com/in/thelindawright/) addresses the work she does supporting screenwriters creating family friendly screenplays, and the work she does with book authors and non-writers that have important stories to tell. 

 She is a veteran screenwriter with experience in production at Warner Brothers, and her focus is specifically on creating content that families can watch together. Family friendly projects focus on core values that cross cultural and religious boundaries. These projects are generally easier to sell because the content is most readily acceptable to overseas buyers. These projects are generally G-rated, which means they also sell to the broadest possible audience demographic.

If you are currently struggling with writing your family friendly screenplay, or simply want to have one written for you, this will be an interesting and important workshop.
