A showrunner/writer’s job does not end with the completion of a script, or even the end of production. In fact, the writing process extends far beyond the page, as a script takes on new life on set, and again in post-production, all the way through to the final cut that ends up on screen. Writers Gina Fattore (Dare Me, Californication) and Javier Grillo-Marxuach (Cowboy Bebop, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) joined us at Season 12 to explore the lesser-discussed aspects of writing, how writers continue to shape our favorite stories long after the “final” draft, and why writers remain integral to all aspects of TV production.

This panel was recorded live at ATX TV Festival Season 12 (June 1-4, 2023) in Austin, TX.

PANELISTS:
Gina Fattore (Writer / Producer, Dare Me, Californication)
Javier Grillo-Marxuach (Co-EP / Writer, Cowboy Bebop, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance)
