Apple TV scores 72 Emmy noms. The secret? Knockout storytelling.

Here's how their top creators do it...

What else is going on in the Prolific Community this week?

I’ve interviewed 14 showrunners, staff writers, and creatives for Apple TV. Here’s some of their top advice:

1. Alma Har'el - Lady in the Lake

"Think about it as a rat running in the gutters but always trying to look at the stars."

Tactic: Visualize concepts through contrasting imagery.

2. Nicholas Stoller & Francesca Delbanco - Platonic

"Why is it hard to maintain platonic friendships of the opposite gender as life goes along?"

Tactic: Challenge societal norms.

3. Jim Hecht & Janine Sherman Barrois - The Big Cigar

"The biggest thing in this show was walking the line of caper and history."

Tactic: Balance entertainment w/social responsibility.

4. Bill Kennedy - The Morning Show

"You do have to go off and find some magic by yourself."

Tactic: Balance collaboration with individual creativity.

5. Lee Eisenberg - Lessons in Chemistry

"I cold called them and said I was obsessed with the book and I would do anything to be a part of it."

Tactic: Pursue passion projects with determination.
