This past November, VFS’s Writing for Film & Television department hosted two Emmy winners: Mad Men writer and Co-Executive Producer Maria Jacquemetton and founding Saturday Night Live writer Anne Beatts.

They spent a few days with Writing students and faculty, sharing their years of experience and offering advice to new writers looking to break into the industry.

During their visit, Maria and Anne sat down for a conversation with Head of Writing, Michael Baser. Check out their conversations below, or watch them over on the VFS YouTube Channel.
