Take 30 - Screenwriter and Producer Steven DeKnight, Buffy, Smallville, Spartacus, Daredevil

Take 30 - Screenwriter and Producer Steven DeKnight, Buffy, Smallville, Spartacus, Daredevil

We talk to producer and screenwriter Steven S. DeKnight.
He talks about his career highlight working on Spartacus, the opportunities he missed that led to him taking that meeting and the challenges (and excitement) working on Marvel's Daredevil.
He talks honestly about when to push back on execs, how to compromise and when to admit you have it wrong.
Steven talks about directing, what he got right, what he got horribly wrong and being shouted at by a line producer.
And gives great advice about writing not what you know, but what you are passionate about.
A masterclass from an industry giant.
