I first watched it as a kid, and watching it again today brought back a wave of memories. What stood out even more this time was how emotionally grounded the story is beneath the fantasy.
Despite being years old, it still feels fresh — a reminder that strong storytelling, character emotion, and world...

My writing partner & I entered the Drama Screenwriting Contest. See what happens.
Congrats, Mike! Excited to see what happens with your submissions. What is your goal? Get the pilots produced? Find representation? Get staffed in a room?

Friends, I’m currently working on a feature film project called “God’s Secretary.”
I’ve realized that writing the character of God is one of the most difficult tasks. I don’t want Him to feel caricatured or purely comedic, but at the same time I need to combine His love for people, kindness, and comp...

To be honest, in this film I want to step a little away from the traditional canon, and I imagine Dwayne Johnson in the role of God. That’s how I see him.
I’d also like to tell you more about what I want to do.
Very often people look at what is happening around them and say: “There is no God, otherwise He wouldn’t allow this.”
In a light and accessible wa...

Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty is one of my favorite depictions of God in cinema. It's a light-hearted representation.
No one answered the last question, how about this one? How would you use an IMDB Pro membership? I used it years ago to find out about certain projects, such as a script I wanted to sell but found out it's in "developmental hell." I gained two projects, both of which went nowhere. But right now I'm...

Thanks, Darrrell, I kind of figured that was too good to be true. But I got a great project for him, so will have to try something else. Yeah, I've emailed such people as Jane Fonda and Dakota Johnson on another project. I once got a script to Armand Assante and he sent me a glossy thank you.
That it is, Ian, but what the heck. We pay for membership and take our shots.
Totally get it. IMDB Pro is most useful when you're actively hunting—finding managers, tracking buyers, or researching reps by genre. Have you tried using the advanced search to find reps who rep your genre? That's usually the feature that justifies the cost.
I saw that, Sam, it seems like that search is something that's been added since the last time I was a member. I'll be exploring it more later. I hope some people have found that site helpful. I don't plan to renew my membership if I don't.
Sam Rivera I'm not sure I did know about that. Is that one of the filters when setting up a search?

One of my screenplays is featured at the current Beverly Hills Film festival. I've never attended a festival. Any suggestions on what types of events are the most worthwhile to attend?
I believe the most powerful performances come from emotional truth. When an actor fully understands the character’s inner world, every reaction feels natural and authentic on screen.
that is very true, having the understanding of the characters emotions and acting on those emotions can bring to light a better acting performance.
making things more natural and having a better flow with the performance.
I've always thought the best way to act was to make sense of what the character is feeling in a given situation. Understand motives to understand reactions.
How do you find your emotional truth Ana Cristina Rodrigues ?

It’s interesting how the films we revisit often reveal something new each time — almost like they grow with us as viewers.

These movies feel timeless to me because of the ways they deal with emotions and situations that seem timeless. Oz, youthful searching. Casablanca, overcoming cynicism. Singin’ in the Rain, search for joy. The Great Escape, the power of diverse men coming together to work for the common good. Once Upon a Time in the West, how far one will go for justice (and or vengeance). Blade Runner explores what is it to be human. The Verdict, the hope and promise of redemption. Dunkirk, - well, I just think it’s a beautiful movie which explores sacrifice.
Movies have such power to get us to feel and to think about our human condition. I think it’s why we love them so much.
Chinatown - what a movie that explores the dark side of power. Without a happy ending.
For me, I can see THE SOUND OF MUSIC, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, BEN HUR, and MAMA MIA over and over.
