[THE MAIN EVENT]
Fresh off a standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival, the showrunner and versatile writer talked to UpRising about her and J.J. Abrams’ anticipated action-thriller, Dusted.
UpRising: How would you describe your writing style?
​
LaToya Morgan: My writing style is very visual. I like to be really descriptive yet very sparse on the page. It’s also very character-driven. I love genre so I like to let that guide my style. If I’m writing a horror film, I’m doing everything I can to scare you on the page. If it's a story about family, I’m looking for new and fresh ways to make you cry and feel those moments of love. I like taking the audience on a rollercoaster ride.
