"On Story is film school in a box, a lifetime's worth of filmmaking
knowledge squeezed into half-hour packages." -Kenneth Turan, film
critic for the Los Angeles Times Austin Film Festival (AFF) is the
first organization to focus on writers' creative contributions to
film and television. Its annual Film Festival and Conference offers
screenings, panels, workshops, and roundtable discussions that help
new writers and filmmakers connect with mentors and gain advice and
insight from masters, as well as reinvigorate veterans with new
ideas. To extend the Festival's reach, AFF produces On Story, a
television series currently airing on PBS-affiliated stations and
streaming online that presents high-caliber artists talking
candidly and provocatively about the art and craft of screenwriting
and filmmaking, often using examples from their own work. On
Story-The Golden Ages of Television explores the transformation of
television's narrative content over the past several decades
through interviews with some of TV's best creators and writers,
including Garry Shandling (The Larry Sanders Show), Carl Reiner
(The Dick Van Dyke Show), Issa Rae (Insecure), Vince Gilligan
(Breaking Bad), Greg Daniels (The Office), Paula Pell (Saturday
Night Live), Noah Hawley (Fargo), Liz Meriwether (New Girl), David
Chase (The Sopranos), Alan Yang (Master of None), Marta Kauffman
(Friends), Jenji Kohan (Orange Is the New Black), and many more.
Their insights, behind-the-scenes looks at the creative process,
production tales, responses to audiences' reactions, and
observations on how both TV narratives and the industry have
changed make this book ideal for TV lovers, pop culture fans,
students taking screenwriting courses, and filmmakers and writers
seeking information and inspiration.
