Unpacking ‘Primetime’ With Ajon Singh

Unpacking ‘Primetime’ With Ajon Singh

Why don't you take a seat, Script Apart listeners? 'Primetime' screenwriter Ajon Singh is my guest this week, breaking down in spoiler detail his script for the Robert Pattinson-starring thriller that looks at one of the most infamous events in American television history – the shocking final episode of 2000s reality series To Catch A Predator, and the awkward questions it invited around questions of justice and spectacle.

We get into the true life origins of the story, Ajon's relationship with the TV show and the terrifying supernatural flourish that takes the film to strange new places in the movie's latter stages, reflecting on what it is about this story that speaks to our Epstein Files era of paranoia around the predators potentially lurking in our institutions.

Script Apart is hosted by LA-based journalist, screenwriter and script consultant Al Horner.
