RACIST STORY DECISIONS - Development Hell

Hi everyone, I've just posted a new film on Scriptfella, about my worst ever screenwriting experience. https://youtu.be/2Z9DQgZc65M

Phillip E. Hardy, Prolifique

Dominic:

You're a wonderful speaker and this was an interesting video. I've written what I consider controversial screenplays with people of color. One screenplay, has been avoided by some readers merely because of the title, when there is nothing racist about my intentions. The thing that's ironic is African American readers have been the most positive about the work. Therefore, I find it difficult to compromise my values to fit into a world that's become nauseatingly politically correct. For that to change, screenwriters should endeavor to have the courage of their convictions.

Thanks for sharing this topic.

Hey Phillip, thanks for checking our my vid. It's an absolute minefield of a topic. It wasn't easy to make - not least for legal reasons!

Teresa Barber

Wow...just wow! And well done. That was an incredible piece.

Dominic Morgan

Cheers Teresa, I'm glad you enjoyed the film.

Stevan Šerban

You are a very brave man! "May the force be with you."
