Take 28 - Writer and showrunner Michael Fuller, Quarry, The Mosquito Coast

Screaming into the Hollywood Abyss

We talk to Michael Fuller who talks us through the pain and heartbreak of his show Quarry being cut, how he used cigarettes and bourbon to get through it and the balance between being a showrunner and being part of other people's shows.
He talks about the dilemma of writing your soul and writing to make a living with a family, what he's learned about the industry and what he learned as an adult (and why he encourages other writers to take acting classes).
And he tells those considering joining the industry to 'just write'.
