Write On with Apple TV+'s 'Dickinson' Creator Alena Smith

Written by Final Draft | November 19, 2019

Alena Smith, Creator of Apple TV+'s Dickinson,  discusses how the show uses modern language and music to illuminate its themes, why this isn't just a traditional biopic and more. 


The show is an offbeat look into the life of Emily Dickinson, exploring the constraints of society, gender, and family in the 19th Century. Dickinson is available for streaming exclusively on Apple TV+.
