Interview with Venessa Young

In the most recent episode of our 2023 Summer Interview Series, we spoke with Venessa Young, author of “Silver Waters” the very first standalone screenplay featured in For Page & Screen Magazine! In this interview Venessa, talks to us about her inspiration for the work (which you can read in ⁠⁠For Page & Screen: Issue 2⁠⁠), the challenges and benefits of taking a story from prose fiction to a screenplay with series potential, and about how studying abroad in Australia gave her more freedom to explore themes of queerness and sexuality in her work. You can find more of Venessa’s work in the inaugural issue of the Evermore Review and be sure to tune in to the full interview to find out more about what she’s working on next!
