Really clever mixing in the interview clips in between your lines lol
I like it! Reminds me of Ted Radio Hour! Smart move Mr. BTC!
@@VIK_1903 Thanks! Similar to Radiolab too. My thought process was "What's the video version of those scripted podcasts?"
like you channel
I love how you get behind the scenes exclusive interviews for us! Keep that up!
Thanks for watching!
Very insightful. I like how with that one story about helping his client she had to do so much work to even get noticed by him and every yes that she got was really subjective. “Oh I liked that title” or someone who was into really dark stuff. Just gotta keep firing until you hit a bullseye.
I love this new style!! The audio is so well done. And I'm glad that you're going more specific with actual, applicable writing advice
Great tips! After 15years of writing scripts, I finally got a manager this month.
Congratulations!
did you sell anything?
@@gianthills not yet but i got hired to write something
@@beyondcinema after 15 years nobody has taken interest?
@@gianthills some interest but no bites. I've been more of an indie filmmaker directing and producing my own films though, so not entirely on the "studio path". What about you?
That was excellent info that talks about the creative side of this but also behind the scenes on the business part if it. I loved it.
This guy sounds exactly like that dude Tyler Mowery
lol
@@BehindtheCurtain time for you to collab with him
@@mihirsharma2226 True
Hope to score an agent and see my work on the big screen some day soon. 👍 many thanks for the quality content
One of my new favorite channels. Lots of great advice! I'm in love with you!
Thanks for the kind words.
Nehemiah, you are quite good at this. Gotta say I might be joining in a second. Idk if you’re just a good salesman or what, but I believed you at the end. I need a good writing community.
You should Firus! I've been there for a while and it has been really helpful, the discussions have made me grow a lot. I recommend it
Caio Andrei are you on the discord or on the script zoom discussions?
Great video as always!
Thanks!
@@BehindtheCurtain You're welcome :)
This has been hugely helpful.
Good to hear! Thanks for watching
I love this. I'm a chef with a TV show but also a writer. Subscribed!
That’s Barton fink
Good stuff,
Thanks!
Do an episode about Ari Aster
Unrelated but I love ur facial structure
Any chance you can provide some of Jon Hersh's clients or projects?
There's one in the video!
Try contacting Ted Elliot or Terry Rossio (Pirates of the Caribbean writers, and more). Well done for a great series.
Great suggestions! Thank you!
You got"Jon" in description and both "John" and "Jon" in video, which is it?
The world may never know
I just want to churn out 20 Hallmark movies a year and live a quiet life in a cabin in the middle of nowhere.
Where can u find good scripts to read, I constantly hear ppl say "read scripts"... but where?!?! Both the hit list and black list tell u the names of good scripts but u have no access to read them.
Google any script + ".pdf" and you can find a lot. Also, Reddit.
Even after watching this video and all of Bojack I still don’t know any significant difference between and agent and a manager.
Btw you should do how they wrote bojack horseman.
It seems like the lines blur a bit. Jon Hersh talks about executive producing some of the projects his clients have sold. Some people in the industry don't like this apparently, I really don't have an opinion. Fostering the project from its infancy to getting it made seems like a natural pairing, but I'm sure there's a lot more to it.
But yea! I'd love to do a Bojack video. I'm trying to interview the creator of it to make it a special video.
a GREAT agent, there isn't. We all dream of great agents.
Woah you're gorgeous man!
"COMMERICAL"
cool
Zoetrope has no shortage of scripts to read.
Hi.
Hello
So, in short, you get a manager through blind luck of them liking your title after getting into the finals of a competition. Cool, got it.
Slow down. He accepts queries too. Fellowships, competitions, annual lists all work.
read scripts? I have. They are exactly the same as the movie. Nothing mysterious about it. You do not need a perfect script. The reality is, even if you have written good scripts, there are more scripts out there than there are production companies, so the odds are against you. Established companies have a network of resources to acquire scripts. They have no reason to give you the time of day.
Most cynical jaded apathetic tone of a voice I’ve ever heard and believe it or not that begins as a defense mechanism early on, to fit in, because it’s “cool not to care”. Sorry.
Not the channel admin of this great channel the interviewee is who I mean. And again sorry, I feel bad saying it but come on
