Go Into The Story Interview: Murder Ink

My interview with Brandon Broussard, Hudson Obayuwana, and Jana Savage, the writing team behind the 2021 Black List script “Homecoming.”

Murder Ink consists of three writers (Brandon Broussard, Hudson Obayuwana, and Jana Savage) who wrote the comedy feature script “Homecoming” which not only landed on the 2021 Black List, but also sold as a spec script to Lionsgate in January of this year. Recently, I had the opportunity to talk with the trio about their backgrounds, the inspiration and writing of “Homecoming,” and where their careers have gone after making the annual Black List.

Here are links to the entire 6-part series which has run this week.

Part 1: “The three of us would stay after everybody else had left and rewrite all the scripts together.”

Part 2: “We’re very vocal about the fact that Howard (University) was extremely instrumental in us being who we are today.”

Part 3: “You wish you could go back to your high school reunion or your college reunion to show somebody who you are now.”

Part 4: “We have a process we do every time. First, breaking our characters. That’s where we always start is the characters.”

Part 5: “I feel like we do four passes on the script before we ever send it to anyone. That’s once it’s all assembled.”

Part 6: “You’re going to need more than one thing. You have to have multiple irons in the fire.”
