Some of it good, some of it bad. And while the best thing you can do as a filmmaker is to create, in whatever shape or form rocks your boat, it pays to be smart about how you spend your time.

Nicole Duport recently completed her own series, BURNS, which went through many rewrites and months of pre-production, before the cameras started rolling. Here she shares her thoughts on the advantages and disadvantages to using the webseries medium versus, for example, a short or even feature film.

So she decided to do what creative people do best: Create. The result is BURNS – a comedy series about a lovable trainwreck of a writer and her everyday antics in and around the Silver Lake neighborhood of LA.

We talked to Nicole about how BURNS became her creative outlet, even though she had never written her own material before, and how she set about getting it made. This is a two-parter. Please enjoy.

That seems to be the mantra that led actress Nicole Duport to sit down and take a stab at writing. The result, the series BURNS, is a hilarious look at a trainwreck of a girl who just wants to be her own goddamn awesome self.

BURNS is not yet available for your viewing pleasure, but instead Nicole was kind enough to talk with us about the process of creating her own show and what she’s learned.
