Hey - it's Frank. I'm actually recording this from my basement. As much as Allyson, Jack, and I love recording these episodes and promos together, we also realize that spending hours inside a small recording booth together is probably not the best idea right now. So we are going to take a little break from the show until things settle down more.

This is the worst of times for many of us, but also an opportunity to be the best of times. Most of us have forced down time from work, school, or other projects. If you do, and this is the best advice I'm going to give you all year, do not mindlessly throw away this time. Do something - anything to move yourself and goals along. Clean your house, get your paperwork in order, clean out your emails, learn a new skill, hone your craft.

And while you are doing this, we have 127 previous episodes available to listen to, - for free. So go and listen, get inspired, and if you are a screenwriter, start writing - whether it's a 1 page skit or 100 page feature, it doesn't matter - just do it.

We don't want to share germs, so share this message and your favorite episodes with your friends instead. We are all in this together - let's make the most of it!

Ok - I've talked more here than I have all year. In short, we're looking forward to coming back as soon as possible at full steam and with renewed energy and until then - that's NOT a wrap - it's your new beginning - I'll get you started:

FADE IN.

“Yours are Mine” is Brooke’s official directorial debut.
Brooke has been acting her entire life, studying at the
British American Drama Academy and she received her
BFA in Acting from Illinois Wesleyan University. After
falling in love with improvisation in the eighth grade,
she went on to study at Second City, UCB, iO and
Groundlings. Her last short film “Night Four” toured the
world in the festival circuit, premiering at the esteemed
Outfest in Los Angeles. She takes pride in her versatility
as a filmmaker and writer: while “Yours are Mine” is
filled with heavy doses of pulling-at-the-heartstrings,
her latest series Botanical Baes was just featured in The
Los Angeles Times. Brooke is honored to share her story
with the community, and is passionate and determined
to continue to lift women up in the entertainment
industry. (www.brooketrantor.com)
