188 | Playwriting (and some BTS Behind the Making of Coco) ft. Octavio Solis

By The Screenwriting Life

1:24 PM EDT on April 11, 2024

Octavio Solis is among the most celebrated playwrights discussing the Latin American experience, but he wasn't always a writer. Octavio began his artistic journey as an actor-turned-writing-teacher. But when his students started succeeding, he felt an emerging feeling; a need to take his own advice and get to the page.Since then, Solis has written dozens of celebrated plays, in addition to culturally consulting on Pixar's COCO, which we discuss today.JOIN OUR PATREON: www.patreon.com/thescreenwritinglifeLearn more about your ad choices.
