Ep 33: Halley Gross & Graham Reznick
Listen now
Description
2017's coming to a close and who better to spend it with than Halley and Graham! They join us to talk moving from TV to games, writing solo vs with a partner, staring at the ceiling being work, pacing for the player’s time, garbage passes, Steven Soderbergh’s Mosaic and his thoughts on video games, what makes something a game vs an interactive experience, how everyone is gaming literate now, lining up performances in a modular narrative, writing and recording out of order, trusting your actors and going easy on those parentheticals (unless you’re making a modular narrative), fan expectations, fan fiction, getting the audience to trust you, writing exposition, story burritos, characters saying their feelings, and challenging your audience. Note: This episode has spoilers for Inside Halley said she played a Game Gear game called Gems, but she wants you to know that she actually meant to say Columns. Halley was right about Playwright’s Horizons.
