Sweet Build Diary: How I Work Full-Time as a TV Writer, Develop TV Shows and Films, and Run a Media Company

Hint: It requires a lot.

Someone recently asked me how I manage to be a full-time TV writer, develop TV shows and films, and run a media company.

This is my first attempt to break it down.

THE SWEET BUILD SALON

I’m hosting our first event, The Sweet Build Salon.

Join me for an intimate and insightful conversation with writer, director, producer, and SuperSpecial Founder, Amy Aniobi.

This Sweet Build Salon will dive into the realities of building a Hollywood production company from the ground up - covering everything from creative vision to business strategy, industry challenges, and the lessons learned along the way.

Whether you're a producer, filmmaker, or creative entrepreneur, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

Amy Aniobi is an award-winning writer/director/producer best known for her work on the Emmy-nominated, NAACP-award winning comedy series INSECURE (HBO). She is the founder of production company, SuperSpecial, and industry talent incubator, TRIBE, and she most recently served as showrunner for season two of SURVIVAL OF THE THICKEST (Netflix), where she also directed multiple episodes, earning her an NAACP nomination for Outstanding Directing in 2024.
