Squid game worked because fear has a calming effect - it's an automatic hormonal compensation. People need a greater fear than they feel.

Karen "Kay" Ross

@Jonas - The handouts should be sent out with the recording tomorrow. You should receive an email with a link to all, but it will also be available tomorrow under the EDUCATION tab in "My Education".

Duduzile Zamantungwa Mabaso

i'm currently looking into the public domain for IP ideas.

Karen "Kay" Ross

@Nick Macdonald - that is a great idea! I would suggest listing your script's logline on your profile, and then keeping your questions specific for your "script exchange". Script exchanges are very common her on Stage 32 - it's a great way to get peer feedback for free and networking at the same time!

Darren Nash

Great webinar - thanks Mickey. I’ve so many questions but will limit it to two.

When conceiving Extant, did you plan it as a 2 season project?

I’ve been on a lot of scriptwriting webinars over the last few months and a number of them stated that Sci-Fi isn’t a genre it’s a setting for either Drama,...
