UPCOMING WEBINAR
Feel-good TV, smart craft: the making of Nobody Wants This — recording included
Monday, Dec 8, 4:30–6:00 PM ET · Live on Zoom
What you’ll get:
How the show engineers comfort without corniness (tone, pacing, banter).
Casting & chemistry decisions that make the humor land.
Real-world LA locations and production design that feel lived-in.
5 quick behind-the-scenes facts you probably don’t know.
No homework needed. I’ll bring the clips. Recording included if you can’t make it live.
Why this session?
It’s the rare rom-com series that balances heart, faith/family dynamics, and sharp comedy. We’ll break down the choices that make it rewatchable—and what filmmakers can steal.
