Dead Pilots Society

Episode 83: Ty Burrell (Modern Family) Interview

We have a very special bonus episode for you! Andrew sat down with Ty Burrell (Modern Family) to discuss the dead pilot he produced, Yours, Mine and Paul’s written by Julia Meltzer. In their interview they discuss breaking new voices, what exactly that entails, what Ty looks for in specs from green writers, and the effort his company puts into finding them. He told us the story about how Julia’s pilot came to him and how his whole production company flipped for it. The benefits of developing a well oiled spec versus a pitch. An enlightening conversation about multi-camera sitcoms and whether or not they’ll be making a comeback. Enjoy it and thanks for listening!You can get the video for the table read of Yours, Mine and Paul’s for as little as $5 by going to <a href="https://maximumfun.org/join">https://maximumfun.org/join</a>For more Dead Pilots Society episodes and information about our live shows, please subscribe to the podcast!Make sure to like us on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/deadpilotssociety/">Facebook</a>, follow us on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/deadpilotspod/?hl=en">Instagram</a>, and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/deadpilotspod">Twitter</a>, and visit our website at <a href="http://www.deadpilotssociety.com./">deadpilotssociety.com</a>
