In our first episode of "inside the writers' room" bonus interviews, Adrián Duston-Muñoz joins us to talk about cinematic storytelling, cherry-picking process advice, and the appeal of a clear cut hero and villain.

ABOUT ADRIÁN
Se habla español. I always list that phrase somewhere on my resume. That's what the @typewritertilde icon means. Se habla español. Bilinguals and polyglots know that every word, every idiom, and every place has at least two contexts. When the art form is black words on white paper, it's valuable to see in color. I've written script, copy, sketch, and creative nonfiction. I've published, placed in competitions, and have dented the universe of internet content creation. I've worked in production, post-production, and management. Based in Los Angeles.
