What happens when a TV comedy writer sits down with Sadie and Jeanne?
Lots of laughs, inspiration and mayhem. But mostly, great advice for anyone who wants to dip their toes into the indie space and take a shot at directing.
Christy Stratton, writer on "Modern Family," "Awkward," "King of the Hill," and more, shares insights into making her first short film, The Runt, her hopes of getting funding for a feature, and incredible advice she wishes she had when she first started off as a writer.
Catch The Runt at a film festival near you—"a John Hughes-ian coming-of-age short film set in 1979."
