A handful of tights are better than one!

This is what a binder of 180 episodes looks like!

Hi all! Scott here. We asked our super dedicated and talented script intern, Leah, to write about her experiences for our production blog. Leah and I met while I was teaching Scriptwriting at Centennial College. So take it away, Leah…

Hey,

I’m new in this world of Transmedia and thanks to my teacher, Scott, I’m getting to see this interesting and new wave of entertainment unfold and slowly make sense. I wanted to get involved after Jill Gollick came to my Children’s Entertainment writing class to talk about the new art of story telling and I quickly became interested and excited about offering a hand. I would have been interested in helping her but then DUHH! My teacher just so happened to be a part of Gopher X productions with more than a few productions in  pre, post or simply on the drawing board.

Theirs is a team of people that I not only find innovative but extremely inspiring. I have been doing some of what you could call grunt work but hey, what are interns for right?! I’ve been enjoying it all! It’s exciting for me to know that I am helping move things forward for them and I’m definitely learning and that’s why I am here. The fact that everyone is awesome is just an added bonus.

Last week while Punch Up’s were being done on scripts I got to be involved typing in the changes to make those jokes your gonna love even funnier. The Gopher team brought in some of the other writers and performers from this season of Tights and Fights as well as a few other very talented television writers, producers, and comedians. It was very exciting for me and I loved being involved. I even got to make a few suggestions here and there that made in the scripts! Team work is definitely a mandate here. That’s why a handful of tights are better than one!
