My #INTRODUCTION: Actor first. Playwright next. Moved to LA to write 1/2 hour comedy (was not that funny). Then film (hated the culture). Then TV. Then Showrunning, which suited me perfect. I am a sheep dog at heart. I wake up thinking about sheep; about keeping them safe from wolves and fed and warmed. I spend my day doing that and then when I sleep...I dream of sheep. I may have written shows you know, but I've yet to write the thing that defines me...

@JeffLieber What was it about the culture of film that you didn't like?

@danielleellen Writers are treated as interchangeable parts on a world where we seem to be resented for being the original providers of an actionable blueprint.

@JeffLieber That jibes with my (limited) experience. Thanks. Makes the decision easier.

How disappointing though for film.

@danielleellen There are absolutely some better sitchos, but my general film experience was…less bueño.
