    "Don't get it right, get it written." Love that.

      rubberjimi I seriously needed to hear that 😅 I'm working on my first screenplay and I've been second guessing every step of the way 😅

    Considering his position, he seems pretty humble. Nice.

      I know - that got me too! As opposed to a speedy ascent into the light(s) - reserved for the actors :)

    This guy is awesome, the interviewer clearly wanted him to say certain things and he just didn't care

    Write people. There is no secret beyond that, just write.

    I really want to go to the program at USC; their screenwriting professors are GOOD. Although you don't really need to register with WGAW anymore, from what I hear. If you register with US copyright office, that should leave you covered as far as I know. Just saying, for those of you who are on a tight budget :)

    I laughed when he said “oh my god my first act didn’t land at page 29 i’m a bad writer”.

    AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO WHEN THEY STEAL YOUR WORK THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE COPYRIGHT LAWS ARE CORRUPT. YES THE COPYRIGHT LAWS ARE CORRUPT AND THEY CATER TO THE PRODUCERS AND THE DIRECTORS AND THE STUDIOS NOT THE WRITER.

    I have written a script which I fully believe to be a blockbuster. It is a prequil to Braveheart. I have contacted all of the agents thru the Screenwriter's Guild, but to no avail. They will not accept first time writers. Period. They will not even read it. What can I do?

      Hi Constance, we welcome you to send us a short video pitch of your story to be published on our channel. Maybe someone will see your pitch and will want to read your script.

      I wouldn't focus on writing content for other peoplea films. It might be better to get some orginal content out there first. Then maybe try and sell the script
