LIVE - SCREENWRITING AMA: “Uh-oh. Time. Change. Shall We Cope?”

Some thoughts on the fact that 1975 was half a century ago - and as fast and things have changed since then, they are changing more and faster now. Thinking about how to cope with change - personally, and digitally. (Provoked by hearing Patti Smith on “The Ezra Klein Show” podcast - which is inspiring, beautiful and worth your hour.) WE ALSO TALK ABOUT: Submitting to contests If you meet a producer and they want to read your script, is it safe to give it to them? Should you copyright it first or is that too dramatic? Is there a trick to withholding information in a script so that you don’t have long dialogue explanations at the reveal? In a family drama, the “stakes” are rarely life-or-death. How do we still make it feel that it matters when the stakes seems small? (Check this video: Screenwriting: Stakes -    • Screenwriting: Stakes   ) My dialogue always seems to come out with 5 or 6 lines whenever anyone speaks? How do I write shorter dialogue? (Check out these videos: Screenwriting: Dialogue -    • Screenwriting: Dialogue   and Dramatic Action -    • Screenwriting Essentials: Dramatic Action   ) After I outline, when I’m writing, the characters steer me to change the plan. What should I do? How do I deal with someone telling me that my script was boring? Are there copyright issues if I write a script based on history that heard about in a podcast? Is there a way to write a subversive story that doesn’t scare off a mainstream audience? A producer wants to make my romantic script, but they want to add a sex scene. Should I let them? Do I think any “washed up” writers would team up with a new writer to update old scripts? Whats the best way to outline a short? In these ASK ME (ALMOST) ANYTHING livestreams. I try to tell you what I know, learned about the art, craft & biz during a 25-year career writing for movies & TV. Want to ask a question but not watching live??
