You can rewatch the webinar in your Library, MB Stevens. The Q&A is toward the end. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner of Stage 32, then select “My Library” in the drop-down menu.

Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been working with a few actor/writer collaborators who are developing vertical dramas right now, and the note-giving process in this format is genuinely different. It’s been valuable to study how emotional beats land in shorter rhythm, how to maintain character POV in a compressed frame, and how the “hook engine” resets segment-to-segment. I’m spending a lot of time helping writers translate their voice into this structure without flattening what makes their storytelling unique. It’s a new muscle, but a very exciting one to build.

Sebastian Tudores Appreciate the link. Is there any way I can send Ammon a few quick questions? We ran short on time during his lecture, and getting a few clarifications would really help me stay aligned with his direction.
