On November 14, we sat down with Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski the master scribes of biographical dramas for Dolemite Is My Name, American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, and Ed Wood.

Held at the Writers Guild of America West HQ, we studied how this screenwriting team approaches their research, including how to find rich resources; how to approach and talk to experts, academics and gatekeepers; how to keep track of and organize information; and how to create compelling drama from true events and real people.
