“If you make the crew laugh it’s usually a good sign that you’re on a good set and everybody’s enjoying it.” – Laura Murphy

Today I interviewed Laura Murphy (Awkwafina is Nora From Queens, Last Week Tonight with Jon Oliver, The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show)

In this episode we speak about:

  • How she came to be a TV director without going to film school
  • Directing the groundbreaking show MTV Girl Code
  • How to make a fun set where everyone wins
  • Negotiation and the film set

Then my character Queens Marie asks about the pizza selection while filming Nora from Queens.

Then my character Donna Disney asks about passing on her Tchotchke-filled apartment to a location scout.
