Fox Writers Lab ft. Moira Griffin – Inside the TV Writing Programs (PT137)

Alex and Nick return to their “Inside the TV Writing Program” series – a deep dive into what goes on inside every major TV writing program from the decision makers themselves.

Our fifth part takes a look at the Fox Writers Lab, with Moira Griffin, who oversees the program as Executive Director of Production and Creative Labs for 21st Century Fox.

We discuss everything, from the latest update about the program and its application process, to what they focus on in scripts, loglines, and what comes after.
