TV screenwriter and producer Brad Winters was the show runner of Berlin Station and has worked on many other shows, including OZ, The Americans, and Boss. He is currently working on a series for Netflix about the founding of Twitter.

It was inspiring to hear echoes of what we're up to as Star-Splitters in the work of a master maker in their field: the importance of connection-seeking (Brad spoke about the ways poetry and screenwriting intersect and can enliven one another), the essential role that structure and outlining play in his work as a storyteller, and the necessity of collaborative play.

"I enjoy working with people who put a premium on humility and respect...on kindness and fun and a sense of humor," he told us.

Thank you again, Brad, for a wonderful conversation.
