The Show

Three working screenwriters talk, every week, about what it actually takes to get somewhere in film and TV. Not the version of the industry you get in a masterclass. The real one. How agents actually work, why coverage exists, what a scheme funds and what it doesn't, and what it feels like to still be trying after the version of success you imagined hasn't happened yet.


Tray Epps, Martin F. Wong and Ben Robins host. Between them they write comedy, drama, and horror, on both sides of the Atlantic, and none of them have a shortcut to sell you. The show exists because the three of them wanted the conversation they couldn't find anywhere else — one where nobody's pretending to have it figured out.
