“I've done a number of films. I've been around this. I think the biggest challenge is just getting the script right, the way that you want the script to be. It's really about capturing the complexity of emotions and creating the kind of characters that people will want to watch every week.” PeopleThinkingWayWantKindDoneCharacterFilmChallengesNumbersEmotionWatchesWeekCreatingScriptsComplexity Author:Nicholas Sparks
“Too many people are surfing the web and trying to figure out the politics of getting a movie made or taking meetings and trying to get someone to read something instead of creating a truly great script, because something great has a great chance of getting made, but something average that you've sort of talked people into reading doesn't have as good a shot.” PeopleTryingMadeReadingChanceFiguresCreatingShotsMeetingsAverageScriptsSurfingSurfing The Web Author:Scot Armstrong

“So many people get deals, so many YouTubers get scripts and things made because they're constantly creating things on their own.

“I think everybody came into it with the understanding that they would go through an experience that is literally not by the book, that is not executing the script and then going home, but living and breathing these characters and being in the moment with each other, and improvising and creating a lot of present-tense intensity between characters.” ThinkingBookMomentsCharacterHomeUnderstandingCreatingScriptsBreathingIntensityTenseGoing HomeImprovisingExecutingPresent Tense Author:Oren Moverman
