EP345 | Screenwriting: Building Worlds Before Page One (w? Steele James)

On today’s episode of In Love with the Process, host Mike Pecci sits down with rising screenwriter Steelle James, a storyteller who's finally found his rhythm — and the confidence to trust the unique process that sets him apart.

Before ever writing page one, Steele fully immerses himself in his characters’ world: using Google Maps to scout their neighborhoods, imagining where they work, where they live, and what their daily lives look like. It's about living inside the story before ever telling it — and it's a method that's paying off in a big way.

With two feature scripts already racking up awards and accolades on the film festival circuit, Steele is at the perfect crossroads in his career. This conversation is packed with insight and inspiration for any writer or filmmaker trying to carve out their own creative path. If you’re looking for a sign to trust your instincts and dive deeper into your worlds, this is it.
