In this episode of The Inner World of Filmmaking, I had the privilege of hosting Valerie Armstrong, the brilliant creator and writer of the acclaimed show Kevin Can F**k Himself, now streaming on Netflix. Valerie shares the fascinating journey of blending a sitcom multicam aesthetic with a single-cam drama, creating a groundbreaking narrative style.

We dive deep into the creative process—from the dynamics of the writers' room to her disciplined habit of writing every day for the past eight years. Valerie offers insights into building complex characters, choosing Massachusetts as the backdrop for the show, and how her experience as a Writer's Assistant on Masters of Sex paved the way for her transition into running her show.
