Welcome to The Screenwriting Life, a podcast where Oscar-nominated writer Meg LeFauve and Emmy-nominated writer Lorien McKenna discuss not only the craft and business of Screenwriting, but also the emotional life: the ups and downs of being a creative, to remind you that you are not alone and to keep writing.
Justin Kuritzkes is having a good year. Two of his scripts Challengers and Queer, were brought to life by world-renowned director Luca Guadagnino, and despite being about completely wildly different world’s, both scripts center complicated characters swirling in romantically complicated politics. Challengers, our focus of today’s conversation, was born out Justin’s sudden and newfound interest in tennis, and a fascination with what might be happening off the court between players in what is such a clearly intimate sport. His script almost instantly attached Zendaya, so he must have done something right.
