[@hanniffydinn6019]

David Lynch describes creativity like fishing. It’s like meditating.

[@MargotLarsenStarwoman]

I was hooked in by your first words...I learned storytelling by mAking up excuses for being late for School ! ( yes it really is true, I had to walk 5miles to get there) And I also stuttered.. English my Second language, Danish my first.. The kids made fun of me , called me Marco Polo....stupid they did not know WHO he was! So I learned to Read before any of Them in 2nd grade Santa. Monica ....later I stutered when I was put on the spot...I wrote my bio 25 years ago...my son Said " Mom no one is going to Care unges you are a famous person!" Teenagere..So I rewrite it as a novel...And Best Buy lost it when I bought a new Apple Mac Pro. It's still in my head "From Copenhagen To California" I admiral your discipline and tenacity, your openess...Have a little coffee before you start writing. It's wonderfull to hear the creative process, I Try and share that in my painting....
God I miss fly fishing for Rainbow and german trout in the High Sierra's

[@PhoeboBuffay]

Thanks AMPAS for sharing. Love David Seidler's work.

[@ElwoodDowd]

I'm curious as to why there are no credits on these videos?
Who is interviewing? Camera\Cinematography? Editing?
These videos are beautiful.

[@maxdurk4624]

I don't know why, but this is such a beautiful video to me.

[@stevekobb3850]

Thank you. A superb video about a great writer.

[@fckdischit]

Mammoth Lakes, California.

[@ceeprintz]

Thanks academy ⚡

Beautiful :)

[@SamuelDaram]

WOW! A wonderful series. And this one with David Seidler is so poetically produced that it can be a great short film all by itself. A big thank you to the Academy. (What screenwriting software is Mr Seidler using? Final Draft?)

[@KageKevSama]

+ZachClooney Yeah he was using Final Draft

[@JHParee]

All professional screenwriters use Final Draft because it's the industry standard.

[@ronakgk1]

Poetic.

[@globetrekpro]

I always wonder if the Picasso script he's working on here ever got made

[@leif1075]

Who wrote the MUSIC in this?

[@johnwesson2759]

What program is he using there?

[@JHParee]

Final Draft, most likely. That’s the industry standard.

[@film_magician]

By the looks of those cards, does anyone know if he's writing a movie about the theft of the Mona Lisa? I wrote the same screenplay, agent said the same story was already in development. Blast!

[@videoslice2683]

good writing is rewriting, as painful as that reminder always is
