“Screenwriting involves an often un-personal process. Co-writers, directors, producers, everyone has a say in what you put on a page, and stories are constantly changing according to budget, actors, and commercial needs.

Short fiction unleashes a more intimate voice and a passion for language. I believe short narratives can have the same amount of danger and drama as any action film.” NeedsBelieveStoriesActionFilmPassionActorsLanguageI BelieveProcessVoiceFictionDangerAmountDramaDirectorsPagesProducersNarrativeBudgetsIntimateScreenwritingParametersAction FilmsAlways Working Author:Chiara Barzini
