137 | Stranger Things Writer/Producer Curtis Gwinn on Navigating The Writers Room

By The Screenwriting Life

11:15 AM EDT on May 11, 2023

Curits Gwinn has worked on some of the most acclaimed shows of the 2010s including The Walking Dead, The Leftovers, and Stranger Things, but he's the first to admit that each room has been a valuable learning experience, even for a writer as seasoned as he is. In this candid conversation, Curtis opens up about the lessons he learned across multiple writers rooms, how to stay spiritually grounded in such a rocky business, and why a 1984 Halloween Costume helped secure his spot on Stranger Things. Learn more about your ad choices.
