In the room: Josefina López​, writer of the film and Broadway musical Real Women Have Curves, and the founder of Casa 0101, dedicated to "nurturing the future storytellers of Los Angeles." We'll talk about Josefina's experiences – both in film and on Broadway – with the adaptations of her play, and whether the productions adequately addressed the need for authentic voices in the room as well as authenticity on the stage. Were there compromises, and were there outside eyes that brought positive enhancements to her original work? How comfortable were the collaborations, and how does the creative process differ in collaboration versus the isolated experience of writing?
