   S6 E8 ALLEGORY DEBRIEF WITH MATTHEW LUTZ AND JOSH LANNAN

   On The Screenwriter Show, host Gail Stewart sits down with Matthew Lutz and Josh Lannan — the brains behind Hollywood’s Allegory Conference — the best screenwriters’ conference ever. If there’s one screenwriting conference you should already have circled for 2027, it’s the Allegory Conference from Hollywood Speakeasy — a community built by screenwriters, for screenwriters. Last month’s event at Solar Studios wasn’t just another panel-and-network industry gathering — it delivered. Smart, relevant speakers. Candid panels. And, most importantly, real access. We didn’t just listen — we connected, mingled, and actually talked shop with industry pros. And here’s where it gets interesting… they’ll soon introduce Hollywood Speakeasy — get-togethers you can participate in while you wait for next year’s event. Hollywood Speakeasy — a true creative hub — is coming to a very cool Hollywood location… soon!
