The adventures of a professional screenwriter and sometimes film festival jurist, slogging through the trenches of Hollywood, writing movies that you have never heard of, and getting no respect. Voted #10 - Best Blogs For Screenwriters - Bachelor's Degree
Great new tip today to start the year off (about movies losing the story in favor of showy scenes) which is what is wrong with a lot of films these days. It seems a lot of writers have let go of the old storytelling format in order to try and wow us with over the top scenes. Someone has a creative imagination and slaps together 5-6 awesome looking scenes but doesn't find a way to connect them so they make sense
Hey, thanks! And thanks for an informative and inspirational 2009. Looking forward to even more in 2010.
