Iyagikkun (Storyteller‪)‬ Gabriel L. Rodriguez

Welcome back, everyone! 

In this episode, I talk about the story that came out of "The Guardian" last month about the UK Secretary of Culture asking Netflix to include a disclaimer on "The Crown" and tackle the question about how and when you need to ask for permission to write your script and make your film based on a real-life person or event.

First off, I hope everyone is staying safe and doing well. 

In today's long-awaited episode, I discuss how you might adapt real-world events in real-time so that it fits within your style and your screenplay.

My special guest is my dear friend and astrophysicist Dr. Rahul Patel and we nerd out hard over how science-fiction influenced us both as a writer and a scientist respectively. We talk about my first (and handwritten) science-fiction novel "Periodic East" and sci-fi masterpieces such as "The Martian," "Star-Trek" and more.

First off, I hope you're all doing well and staying safe. I'm sorry it's been a while since my last episode. I've been adjusting to working from home and working on other projects. You can check those out in the links below.

I was honored to have my first guest, producer Jorge de Moya. Jorge and I have been friends for over 20 years and he has been so kind to let me pick his brain as we discuss the twisted world of Fan Fictions from a writer's and producer's perspective, respectively. We also discussed some of my (what I call) UHMC (Ultimate Hypothetical Move Castings.)  You can check all my lists on the link below.

On this episode, I talk about how I decide which screenwriting festivals to submit my scripts to and what you should consider when deciding on how and when to submit your scripts.

I use coverfly.com to organize all my latest work and consider my options on upcoming festivals.
