In his podcast appearance on Screen Perspectives, Steve Cuden delivers a candid, actionable look at what it really takes to write for film, television, and theater.

Steve dispels the idea of a neat career roadmap in entertainment. Instead, he emphasizes work ethic, persistence, and the hard reality that most professional success doesn’t come from a single breakthrough but from sustained effort. He recounts building sets, lighting stages, writing scripts, and putting in decades of work before the industry took notice.

Listeners will find direct, practical guidance on:

  • The importance of conflict in storytelling
  • Why getting your work read matters more than waiting for inspiration
  • How relationships often determine opportunities in Hollywood

This episode is essential listening for writers who want honest insight on building a real career.
