Industry veteran Steve Ecclesine was kind enough to video call with Cohort VI last week, as they prepare their scripts for production. Steve gave them invaluable insight into getting their work from the page to the screen. Steve has worked on hundreds of TV Shows, over a dozen movies, and wrote a book entitled "So You Wanna Be A Producer?". Video of Steve's talk can be found on the TVWS Cohort VI YouTube page.
