Coffee & Content: Showrunner Glen Mazzara On What Stands Out In A Spec Script

Happy Sunday, Creative Army!

Have you had a creative weekend so far? I have some content here for you that is sure to get the creative juices flowing, so grab your coffee, and let's dive in.

First up, in this video from the Writers Guild Foundation, acclaimed showrunner Glen Mazzara (THE ROCKIE, THE DARK TOWER) discusses the challenges of being a screenwriter, advice for new writers, and the importance of including fun in a spec script. It's great insight into what a showrunner looks for when reading work from writers of all levels.

Next, I'm often asked what is the best piece of advice I can give to new filmmakers, and the answer is so simple: RELAX. It's so easy to get worked up in this business over your own creations, the work of others, communication, and on and on and on... The best thing you can do is to take a breath and relax as you're going through it. Check out this video to see what I mean.
