Scriptnotes Podcast - Un pódcast de John August and Craig Mazin - Martes
Categorías:
John and Craig welcome screenwriter Mike Makowsky to discuss the process of turning a story from the news into a movie and how he drew on real life experiences to create his upcoming film, Bad Education.
We also follow up on writing with neurological trauma, trailblazing female screenwriters, and answer listener questions on speaking theme vs. subtext.
In our bonus segment for premium members, we talk about our own three page challenges, and why those early pages are so important.
