Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Mark McDonald
They’re the people who flesh out the original concept for a film, who see their words come to life on the big screen. But screenwriters also have to share their vision with directors, actors, and all the other players involved in making a movie. We hear from two successful screenwriters about the role of the writer in Hollywood and the future of the filmmaking industry.
Guests
- Pamela Gray Screenwriter, "A Walk on the Moon" and "Music of the Heart"
- Claudia Myers Writer and Director, "Kettle of Fish"
