Today, she’s the screenwriter and showrunner taking us back into that world. Screenwriter/showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Housemaid, The Housemaid 2, The Boys, Archive 81) sits down with Brian and Bailey to discuss why she writes, how she writes, and how the entertainment business really works. How did an old-school VHS camcorder teach her plenty about storytelling? How did writing screenplay coverage nudge her into a screenwriting career of her own? How did she turn the things she enjoyed most into commercial successes? How did she adapt the bestselling novel The Housemaid by treating it as “a personal horror story”? And how is “genre writing” perhaps not quite what people think it is? Rebecca has plenty to say about crafting the tension of The Housemaid , landing the project of her childhood dreams, and the world-building secrets that make a 150-year-old story feel like it’s about us, right now. Produced by Brian Landwehr and Bailey Patterson.","meta_description":"She was just five years old when she read the Little House on the Prairie books that made her want to tell stories.
