Description
"The Couch & Water Tour" is the colloquial term for the slew of General Meetings that Screenwriters take on the road to finding work and building their network. It's called that because an assistant inevitably tells you to sit on the waiting room couch and asks if you want water. It can feel like a grind, but it's an inescapable and vital part of any screenwriting career.
Hosts Tasha Huo and Josh Hallman break down what these General Meetings are for, how you get them, and what you do once you're in them. And since General Meetings are often a first step in getting work as a Screenwriter, they give tips and tricks on how to maximize your face-time with the producer or studio executive you're meeting generally, and share both their successes and embarrassing horror stories.
