John August is a screenwriter (having collaborated on the writing of several Tim Burton films), a novelist, an entrepreneur behind apps for screenwriters, and a member of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) West Academy and Board of Directors. He is a prolific and versatile writer, as well as a keen analyst of creative issues. Together with Craig Mazin, creator of Chernobyl, he hosts the fascinating Scriptnotes podcast. Each week, they delve deep into the realities of the screenwriting profession, deciphering the practices and challenges of this art of storytelling.
As part of this year's Série Series, John will be presenting an exceptional podcast on European creation, with Aline Brosh McKenna (co-creator and showrunner of the Crazy ex-girlfriend series). An exchange on writing in resonance with current events in our societies, with guest writers Anna Winger (Deutschland 83, Unorthodox) and Tony McNamara (The Favourite, The Great), to plunge into the heart of the writers' room.
