On Friday the 13th, screenwriters only fear 3 things: the blinking cursor of a blank page, rewriting Act II, and a film comes out with a storyline eerily similar to your own.

He has always been drawn to stories of shapeshifters, of metamorphosis and revelation, and considers himself a smuggler. That led him to work with Robert Rodriguez on genre films like “Planet Terror” and "Machete.”

I love screenwriting SO MUCH
Finding a concept is FASCINATING
Developing a plot is DELIGHTFUL
Shaping a character is STIMULATING
Thinking up dialogue is THRILLING
Writing a logline is
Choosing a title is CAPTIVATING

Screenwriters, remember your HOOK is your story’s existential statement.
It’s what makes your story original. Not a micro-summary of your plot or a regurgitation of your logline.
The classic example is, “It’s A meets B.”
For example:
Glengarry Glen Ross meets Squid Game

Me: I'm gonna start writing at 10am sharp.
Me, at 10am sharp: I need a song to set the mood for this scene. *proceeds to spend 30 minutes looking for a song I think works*
The song has not been found. 😆
