The Process of Storytelling w/ Malcolm D. Lee
About this episode
In this powerful conversation with acclaimed filmmaker Malcolm D. Lee—the visionary behind The Best Man, Girls Trip, Night School and more. Malcolm opens up about his journey from writing scripts in his parents’ basement to building one of the most respected careers in Hollywood.
He shares how Spike Lee’s influence inspired him to pursue film, the process of writing The Best Man as a timeless classic, and why every great script starts with a “crappy draft.” Malcolm also dives into the lessons of perseverance during slow seasons, the pressure of rewrites, and the importance of always putting character first.
