Episode 18: Sheila Walcott, SVP at Warner Brothers

Sheila has years of experience in the entertainment industry, ever since the show biz bug got a hold of her at age 15. She ditched her plan to become a lawyer and dove headfirst into filmmaking by the time she graduated high school.

Fast forward to today: as SVP of Creative Development at Warner Bros, Sheila has worked on the critically acclaimed musical adaptations of THE COLOR PURPLE and IN THE HEIGHTS, as well as TWISTERS and GODZILLA X KONG sequels, plus the upcoming films FLOWERVALE STREET and a forthcoming project with BLACK PANTHER director, Ryan Coogler. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

We discuss the movies that move us, personal playlists for all occasions, the challenges of adapting musicals to the screen, and the importance of culture in storytelling and entertainment.
