What exactly is a showrunner? What is a writer's room and how do you set one up? Why are there so many power struggles and clashes on the sets of streaming shows between series creators and directors? Are series really a writer's medium? Filmmaker and the OG showrunner Vikramaditya Motwane is in many ways ideally placed to answer these questions.
