We've got a super exciting episode of the pod today! We had the honor of chatting with screenwriter Leigh Dunlap, creator of the beloved film 'A Cinderella Story!!!' We shared and reflected on this iconic film's impact, particularly on both Aviva and Isabel's pre-teen years! Leigh shared some behind-the-scenes fun facts about the script's development, casting choices (we love you Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray), and the film's super fun premiere! She also shared some valuable advice for aspiring screenwriters navigating the complexities of the industry and the impact of AI on screenwriting.
