Isabel Hagen - Screenwriting

Spread your wings, and pluck those strings... it's time for a new episode of My New Thing. Today in the Hobby Lobby, we talk to comedian Isabel Hagen (The Tonight Show) about how she made her award-winning film On A String. Isabel wrote, directed, and starred in the film, which recently debuted at The Tribeca Festival and won best screenplay. We talk about making movies, performing stand-up comedy, and playing viola all at once! She's a polymath, and we had a blast discussing everything she's gotten into recently. My New Thing is a comedy podcast featuring interviews with the funniest people on the planet discussing their latest obsessions! We're talking hobbies, sports, video games, and obscure films you can only find on VHS. It's a podcast where comedians talk about anything but how they got started in the biz! What a relief. Hosted by comedians Dan Wilbur (The Onion, Sirius XM) and Zach Sims (Comedy Central) Join us, hobbyholers! Follow us on Instagram! Music by Corn Mo. Art by Jordan Doll. Want to see us live?
