Summary

Canadian writer-director Chandler Levack sits down with Brian and Bailey for a deep dive into how and why she writes. How did her music journalism experiences inform her screenwriting? How did she make her first film without a studio deal? How does she deconstruct her favourite screenplays when building her own scenes? Why are rom-com tropes so worthy of our love and respect? How do filmmaking careers really get started these days? Why was she so excited to get a call from Adam Sandler? And how could her parents boost her career by faking an illness? With both of her newest projects dropping the very same day— Mile End Kicks in theaters, and Roommates on Netflix—Chandler has plenty to share, and she doesn’t hold back. Produced by Brian Landwehr and Bailey Patterson
