EEAAO - Oscar predictions

There is no way you can convince me Cate Blan...

Great to hear your new perspectives Debbie & Christian. Debbie - your analysis of the family & love dynamic within the crazy world is why we love movies, right? Common themes in big worlds. I totally...

@Amanda Hi yeah, totally get why you thought it "student experimental" and don't disagree. It often visualized "speed dial" and I was no fan of some action scenes being a tad 80's/90's kung fu comic s...

Is an Antagonist's Backstory always needed?

Good Morning, Great Screenwriters of.... THE UNIVERSE!!!

I had a screenwriting friend who one day dropped this idea into my lap: Write something very dark. A script that really challenges you as a writer. One that takes you to places that make you EXTREMELY uncomfortable. GO THERE! DO IT! See if you'...

Interesting stuff. Yep, I am of the opinion that flashbacks are terribly overused in films lately. Sometimes, so overdone that the audience is looking at each other like, "Where the hell are we in this?" And, often it just isn't necessary. I have used them, but - sparingly.

Bill Brock

Unequal Justice -- about Dr. Charles Lee Bennett

I feel that Unequal Justice is the best feature-length screenplay I've written that still not produced. It's about the battle at Northwestern between Dr. Charles Lee Bennett and Big Pharma.

Evelyn Olutola Logan

Hello Laura. Sounds great! It reminds me of John Grisham's Book turned feature film, the Rainmaker. The battle was different; between patient and Big Insurance but seems it could follow the same tune....
