Michal Lali Kagan - Working a Day Career to Feed Your Creative Career

In this episode, Lisa chats with successful screenwriter and aspiring author Michal Lali Kagan. Lali shares with us her creative journey which has blossomed along side a day career at Universal, as a Vice President in the credits department. Lali started working with directors and producers on incredible films, but soon found that the mental toll of working in development was taking away from her ability to be creative in her free-time. Thanks to her husband's advice and encouragement, Lali took a job in the credits department, which ended up becoming a full career. The structure of her day career has given Lali the freedom and energy to write in her off hours. Lali's most recent film, The Etruscan Smile has a successful run on the film festival circuit and helped lift up indie cinema during the pandemic.
