What draws you to the project(s) you are working on right now? What ignites the passion for this particular film? What's it's purpose? For me, I'm drawn to the character arcs and relationships. With a background in psychology, I am passionate about those elements in films. Seeing a character grow, learn, develop or encourage that in the other characters. How about you? What draws you to your projects?

Fascinating story Aray! I responded with some questions about your character in the other forum. Exploring the dark side definitely builds characters out.

I also is drawn to my characters, then I think of something that they say or do to make a movie or scene in my movie.

I'm drawn to a fun idea with meaning.

Everything I write either begins as some form of autobiography or begins as a cool concept and then I figure out why my subconscious came up with that idea (which helps me find the autobiographical root of the idea). Either way - it's me working through my problems in a format that hundreds of millions of people worldwide can see.
That's awesome insight, William! I can see this likely happening frequently with authors ... if not what they would do, then at least what they would like to do or say. That sort of "I could have said...".

Willaim I have noticed that's what I do to an extent. When i look at all my work every piece has a similar meaning to other works. I guess what has meaning to me never goes away and is very strong in my creative outlet.

I'm drawn to ideas that take something I've seen and does something new with it.

I do like that "new twist on something familiar" feeling as well, Adam.
Too true, Agata. Keep on battling! Love the passion. :)
