When did you start working on the show, and what was your role? I was there from the beginning. The show was produced by Children’s Television Workshop which is now called Sesame Workshop. It’s the same company that produced Sesame Street, and they had this idea to do a literacy show that would help kids 7-10 learn to read. They had a show called T...
Ghostwriter and Gaby. (Photo: Youtube) What happened was, Liz and I were working on different things, Liz was hiring designers and all that, and I was hiring writers. We got a team of writers together, and we had a weekend retreat. We brought the writing team together and some of the designers, to brainstorm what was this series going to be. Two re...
Lenni was pretty cool. (Photo: Youtube) Where did you where did you find child actors that you got? What was the casting process like? We had a wonderful casting director. Pat [McCorkle]. She went to Boys and Girls Clubs and Boy Scouts and the Y. We knew that we really wanted diverse kids too. We didn’t want actor-y children. Those auditions were r...
The show was very prominently set in Fort Greene. When was that something that Liz decided? That was actually an argument that we had right at the very first. […] We had a big discussion about, should it be a generic place or a real place. At one point we thought we would shoot in Philadelphia and call it New York. Because it was going to be cheape...
As a quick side note, Samuel L. Jackson was in the first episode (as Jamal’s dad). Did you realize at the time that he was going to be a big actor? Absolutely! I had actually worked with him on my very first job in television. It was a TV movie of the week that was shot down in Georgia. I was an assistant to the producer, and he was in the cast of ...
Many of the outfits on the show were pretty, pretty fabulous. Was that all the wardrobe department, or did the kids have some input into what they wanted to wear? I think they had some input. When you’re working in a series like that you really get to know the actors, and what they’re good at, and what they’re not so good at, and you really start t...
Was there ever any talk to introduce other supernatural elements? In the last episode of the third season, there was some sort of living doll… Our writers were really clever. These were mysteries. There had to be some sort of crime at the center of the story,but you can’t do murder for children. So it has to be something short of murder, that would...
At the time, CGI wasn’t really being used a lot on television. How did you guys decide that Ghostwriterwas going to be that punctuation-looking icon, and how did you go about bringing that to life? The design of the Ghostwriter icon was a very important branding exercise. It was the kind of thing that Liz knew you needed to do, from her MTV experie...
Did you guys ever run into any conflicts over content with either Children’s Workshop or PBS? Not so much with PBS. In that last episode we did that had that slime monster, they were writing the scary story and the monster came to life, and Lenni is slimed to the walls of her loft. Everyone gets slimed to the walls of Lenni’s loft, except one chara...
Why did Ghostwriterend? It was very expensive to make. We had a big grant from Nike in the first season, and their priorities changed, and they gave us less and less money each season. [There was] money from the Department of Education. We got a little money from the National Science Foundation in the last year, to make science-oriented shows. It’s...
