For the Vertical Microdrama, the space was so new that scripts had not been released, but we had you covered! We spoke to the Vertical professionals, and they all agreed — if you want to learn from your favorite Vertical Microdrama, reconstruct the script as you watch it! Our very own Kay Ross, screenwriter, filmmaker, and Stage 32 Writers' Room Producer, broke down her top three verticals! PLUS everyone who joined live was the first to receive the Script Reconstruction Checklist so they could follow her same process with their favorite verticals!
The Breakdown Webcast with Evan Anglin
Watch the Breakdown Webcast, where our special guest, Co-Head of the Animation Department & Literary Manager at ZERO GRAVITY MANAGEMENT, Evan Anglin, had a Q&A with our LIVE Writers' Room Members audience about character development and the animation world! Members had the opportunity to ask Evan career advice and learned from an executive who oversees the development of the animation department and represents award-winning artists and talent, including showrunners, feature writers and directors, production companies & studios. Evan has held similar roles at other companies like BOLD MANAGEMENT & PRODUCTION, PARTOS COMPANY, and INNOVATIVE ARTISTS, and has several projects in post-production, including STEM NIGHT (Indie Film - Producer) and THE PANIC (Indie Film - Co-Producer). In Evan's words, "I love material that is character driven, I love slice of life type of stories, YA, dark comedies, and animation and hybrid."

If you look at recent trends, it is clear they are on a come back. We will break down the beats of a Romantic Comedy so that you as a writer approach writing without falling into the trap of tired cliches. We will also explore how to take the storytelling conventions and turn them on their head. We will examine films and series including When Harry Met Sally, 500 Days of Summer, The Apartment, Knocked Up, What Women Want and more to find out what makes these projects work and how we can apply those same principles to our writing!

The Stage 32 Writers' Room Script Breakdown welcomed Sammy Warshaw — the producer and film executive behind Blumhouse's HAPPY DEATH DAY, TRUTH OR DARE, and HALLOWEEN, and Co-Producer on SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 — who broke down the script for OBSESSION live. OBSESSION premiered at TIFF where Focus Features acquired it for $14–$15 million, the highest price commanded by a genre film in TIFF history, before grossing $459 million worldwide and becoming the eighth-highest-grossing horror film of all time. Sammy revealed what makes this script work on the page — the structure, the character engine, and the high-concept hook that turned a festival premiere into a global phenomenon.
