JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT: Try not to concern yourself too much with… uh… what other people will think. The point at which you’re just about to lose an audience’s sympathy with a character is probably the kind of… the best place to be. I don’t think that an audience need to like a character necessarily, they need to be compelled by them. MATT CHARMON: The best screenwriting really starts with character.
YOUNG SCREENWRITER MOVIE
Don’t write like a two-hundred million dollar movie and then wonder why no one wants to take a shot and make it. SETH ROGEN: I would suggest writing something that is… um… inexpensive to produce. If you just think of it with no stakes, then you get pen to paper, finger to keys. So just write the bad version, write the shitty version. SARAH SILVERMAN: Sometimes it’s like exercising, it’s just getting your sneakers on that’s the hardest part. RIDLEY SCOTT: Stop doing four screenplays at once. It’s em… They’re often not treated or considered with the importance that they should be. Figure out what it looked like on the page and how it got there.ĭANNY BOYLE: Keep going. Just try to, sort of reverse engineer it.
Uh, watch the movie with the screenplay on your lap. Read the screenplays of your favorite movies. Here they are!ĪARON SORKIN: To young screenwriter, I would say that screenwriting is no different than playing the violin.
UPDATE: The GITS community comes through again! A major Hat Tip to Colin Derby for going putting together a transcript of the comments from the video. If some energetic soul wants to transcribe this video, I would be hugely grateful as I’d like to parse each one of these comments.
