This was a great watch. Thanks for putting this up. Here's the link to Cassie Soliday's google doc that was brought up around the 42:00 mark: twitter.com/cassiesoliday/status/1269340786090369024 . Here's a couple thoughts/questions I had: 1) I know Kate said that a degree isn't required, but would it help your chances to go to film school or some equivalent to help get into writing? 2) Jeff brought up that having a spec for a show no longer on the air is good. However, for the writing programs I've seen, it seems they do want a spec script for something currently on the air.
