Emerging: How to Eventually Make it in Film & TV

When you've always got too much to do, how do you plan your work and projects to make sure you're prioritising what's important? It's one of the ultimate questions every emerging writer faces, especially when you're juggling paid work, family life and 100 scripts that all feel like they're so close to finally being done. There're only so many hours in the day!So join the three of us as we take a swing at trying to understand how we organise our lives and our priorities, between getting as many vomit drafts together, to dropping out of festivals to focus on making stuff, to watching your life disappear into evening after evening of DIY because somehow, you think once it's all done, it'll make you more productive. 📬 Get In Touch:Email us: TheEmergingPodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram: @theemergingpodBen is @bmlrobinsMartin is @bananabreadfilmTray is @ByTrayepps✨ Support the Show:If you enjoyed the episode, please rate and review!

This week's guest will be verrrrry familiar to anyone who regularly finds themselves watching screenwriting content on TikTok - Karla Williams Posiuniene has made a name for herself sharing industry info online, and it's started to open doors in every direction. So is it worth doing? And how?On top of some A+ community-finding advice, Karla also goes into detail about her unusual journey to date, from playwright, to finding a top agent at Curtis Brown, to going out on her own when that relationship didn't work out. We also delve into the industry fallout from 2020's "BLM summer" and explore some uncomfortable truths around the effect it had on representation long term.And of course if you want to follow Karla's journey, you can find all her links at https://bio.site/cue.karla 📬 Get In Touch:Email us: TheEmergingPodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram: @theemergingpodBen is @bmlrobinsMartin is @bananabreadfilmTray is @ByTrayepps✨ Support the Show:If you enjoyed the episode, please rate and review!
