Interview with Black List Screenwriter Logan Martin aka The Meat Guy (@KingDefault)

This month our host Smish meets Screenwriter Logan Martin -- @KingDefault -- the writer of the polarizing script MEAT. Logan talks about getting the coveted impressive rating on review blog site Scriptshadow and how it led to him getting signed by Good Fear and having his script optioned by Assemble Media. He has been featured on the Black List, The Blood List, and his first feature finished in the top 20% of the Nicholl fellowship.

Logan gives great insight on how to block out the haters and to be fearless when sharing your writing! MEAT was a polarizing script, and Logan goes deep into the story and the opportunities it created for him. Then we get his views on breaking the rules of screenwriting and utilizing structure!

• MEAT (17:48)
