Writer-Director Tayarisha Poe: “Something was wrong with my script”
When I applied to the Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab I knew there was something wrong with my script. When I interviewed for the lab, I once again shared that feeling. And then when I got the call from Michelle Satter and Ilyse McKimmie welcoming me and my story (Selah and the Spades) into the fold, I felt a quiet relief – like finally getting an appointment to see a doctor after months of a very sore throat. So, I entered the lab knowing nothing other than 1) even through those fleece-lined waterproof boots, my toes were freezing and 2) my script wasn’t done, and as strongly as I felt that, I didn’t know why.
