Elizabeth continues to re-write and Angie is preparing to “collect rejections” as she begins submitting her film Lost in the Middle to festivals. They discuss complicated versus complex stories—is the difference in the eye of the beholder? Elizabeth reads 16 tweets by author Mira Jacobs about her experiences in the literary world as a woman of color writing stories deemed to have “too many elements” and brings up Hilton Als’ recent review of Suzan-Lori Parks’ new play, White Noise. Story Makers Show is also holding a raffle to determine their new sign off!
