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.

In this episode, Meg sits down with writer, actor, and filmmaker Eva Victor to discuss her debut feature, Sorry, Baby: a darkly funny, deeply personal story about friendship, trauma, and hope.
They explore how to make a personal film feel truly cinematic, both in the writing process and on set. Eva shares how their experience as an actor shaped their directing style, allowing them to create space for authentic, layered performances. They also open up about her determination to depict trauma in a way that avoids “misery porn,” focusing instead on the healing, humor, and humanity that surround painful experiences.
Thanks Eva!
