Four years ago, Brian Grazer and Ron Howard were so frustrated with the standard process of developing screenplays in Hollywood, they created a new startup to overhaul the system.
Our guest today, Daniel Ungar, was there from the beginning. He tells us how he started out as an assistant at Imagine Entertainment, and before long became an executive at the brand-new company, Impact. Daniel offers great advice to anyone who wants to work on the development side of the business, as well as writers trying to hone their skills.
Stay until the end, when he gives you the secret to breaking into all those writing programs around Hollywood.
This episode is brought to you by The Anonymous Production Assistant. The theme music was written and performed by Daniel Clingman.
