And then once a writer goes off to write their script and they kind of go in isolated land, what's that like for you? How do you kind of mimic your story to go along with the board or are you able to find things that maybe are not on the board that you all discussed?

12:01
Like, I was so far removed from how the business worked.
12:05
So I thought I was gonna be an actress.
12:08
And I wrote things, but I wrote things just to give myself something to play around acting, right? And in my senior year of high school- I took AP English, and shout out to Mike Phillips if he ever were to hear this.
