What does it really take to turn an idea into something that gets made?

Screenwriter and creative development professional Tess Meyer has spent her career helping bring stories to life, working across children's animation, television and feature films, including 100% Wolf, Maya the Bee and Skinford.

In this episode of Secret Creative Life, Tess shares her journey through the screen industry and what she's learned about developing stories, finding the heart of an idea and navigating the often unpredictable path from concept to production.

We talk about the art of pitching, the importance of collaboration and what happens when an experienced creative finds herself on the other side of the table, pitching her own original projects.

It's a conversation about storytelling, creative confidence and the persistence it takes to get an idea out into the world.
