I do read quite a lot. Screenplays, articles, blogs, and books. I often read the transcripts of podcasts, rather than listen to them. I’m a faster reader and often get distracted when I’m listening. Each week is different in what I’m reading and the amount. What makes me stop reading a script can be several things – pet peeves like an overabundance...
I don’t have a great answer for that, but that sounds like something I should try to find out or ask of a writer. Maybe that is what I should say when someone asks me “what are you looking for?” or “what are you missing in your current slate of projects?” I’m looking for the most unusual source material. (We call it fishing in a different pond than...
The feeling that I got under the skin of a character and felt like I knew them or that a writer put me in the shoes of a character. I could empathize with why they went on the journey and I feel like I was transported into the character’s world.
Emails, calls, zoom sessions, reading, writing notes, making lists, and making sure I have an ironed shirt on. Not much has changed in working from home other than not going into the office. Telephone or zoom calls have replaced in-person meetings.
As a company, we do know that this is a business so we certainly have that in mind when choosing projects. We also don’t want to take on something without feeling we are providing something different to the marketplace. We also want to feel that we need to be part of a project and that we can offer up a unique perspective on how to get it made. We ...
There are a lot more avenues for screenwriters to get their work read even if a writer doesn’t have representation. From competitions to other online fora, writers can have outreach from anywhere. Of course, they have to choose wisely when pursuing those options. That’s where it can get challenging and expensive for writers.
You have to be a good reader to be a good writer, so I suggest that screenwriters keep up with what is going on in the world, read as much as you can, and don’t try to follow trends. Continue to write and be smart about your choices and who you are as a writer. Know how to verbalize your stories as well as talk about yourself. You need to be good i...
That hasn’t changed much, still working on the same amount though we found a couple of short films to become involved in, which we don’t normally do. We were put on hold on one movie we were to shooting earlier in the year, so that was the first major impact of the shutdown. Luckily that film is starting production this month, which is very excitin...
Reading lots of scripts and happy to say that they are all quite different, so I don’t get bored with the variety. I’m reading too much Twitter at times. I’m watching shows like Lovecraft Country, which is fantastic! Catching up on The Crown, season 3, and loved Giri/Hajion Netflix. That show was crafted so well.
It’s a great time for writers and lots of need for new content, but it’s still not easy. Write what you know and love. Be true to yourself because you need to sell you as well as your work. You want to be authentic. Remember that if you get into a meeting with an executive or producer, you most likely won’t sell your script in the room, but you can...
