In this episode, Hilliard and guest co-host (writers assnt CROSS on Prime) J.R. Zamora-Thal, sat down for an in-depth conversation with writer/producer JOSHUA GILBERT. He's a mid-level TV writer (Flash) -- https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4214168 -- and prior to staffing, did all the Writers' Office Assistant jobs: Writers' PA, Showrunner's Asst, Writers' Asst, and Script Coordinator (the gig he did the most).
Josh says, "It occurred to me that if a YouTube video can teach someone to fix their sink, they can learn to SCRIPT COORDINATE the same way. So I created an 8-part video training module that gives step-by-step instructions for taking a script from first draft to shooting draft!"
We talk about how other assistant jobs don't lend themselves to the Script Coordinator training video and why and also learn his journey of giving back to writer on the come-up!
