Advice to young filmmakers:

1. Screenplays are the currency of all film business, so work on your writing skills.

2. The film business is built to cycle you out. Work hard every day to give it a reason not to.

3. Make the movies only you can or would make. That’s your voice.

Branding is how people see you.

Marketing is how they find you.

Sales is how you get paid.

Master all three.

[Tom Vaughan @storyandplot]

There are three choices for nearly all actions in your screenwriting.

1. What happens.
2. How it happens.
3. How we feel about it.

The 3rd one is the directorial/editorial choice you make. This is what we mean by directing on the page.

A person gets out of bed. But how do they get out of bed? Do they struggle? Do they hop? Bounce?

They're hungover! Great! That's a choice!

But how do we (the reader/audience) feel about it?

Is it sad? Or is it funny? Your writing should evoke these choices.

This does not mean go into detail. Minimum effective dose. Always.

Strong, thoughtful word choices.

Let the verb do the heavy lifting. Or a single well-chosen adjective, or a turn of phrase.

If a line or action has no emotional intent, and it’s not required to visualize the scene...

That's a line I cut every time.

3 non-negotiables to being a better screenwriter:

1.) Watch movies and TV.
2.) Read screenplays.
3.) Write

But do so with intention.

- Don't just watch, break down the movie's structure, too. See the story's 30k foot view.

- Don't just read. Observe yourself. See where you stumble, what you like, what you don't like, what keeps you engaged. Learn.

- Read FEWER classic screenplays; favor NEWER scripts and recently sold specs.

You don't have to write every day. But write enough that your mind stays in writer-mode and you observe the world as a storyteller.

Script Analysis: “The Woman King” (2022) — Scene-By-Scene Breakdown. A great way to analyze a screenplay and its story structure. https://t.co/MF6hatnx4m #movies #screenwriting #scriptsky

Big picture screenwriting structure:

Act 1: I have a problem.
Act 2A: I think I'll solve it.
Act 2B: This is harder than I thought.
Act 3: The sacrifice.

Keep it simple. Structure is just the framework. Great characters in great scenes is where you cook.

“You write one screenplay, and it’s probably terrible. Then you write a second screenplay, and it’s probably terrible. Then you write a third screenplay, and it’s not bad. Then, you take everything you’ve learned and go back and rewrite the first screenplay, and then keep going, and you’ll build a body of work that may start to sell.”

Tony Gilroy: "The idea is still king. Spend 90% of your time working on the idea." #screenwriting

[Tom Vaughan @storyandplot]

So much of good screenwriting is simply being clear about your intent.

Know what you want out of each moment.

- What do you want the audience to visualize?
- What do you want them to feel?

Be so CLEAR that the reader absorbs it the first time, and you're top 90% of writers.

[Your Best Version @YourPrimePath]

As a man, you need to understand;

1. A man without money has no voice. Fix your finances before you try to fix the world.

2. Once you go through your worst time alone, you really don’t care who stays in your life anymore.

3. People respect you more if you are in great physical shape.

4. Have a clean haircut twice a month. Dress well on every occasion. Smell nice. Talk slow. Smile when necessary. Everyone you meet will respect you.

5. Be private, accept the loneliness, and fix your life. No one is coming to save you. Your life is 100% your responsibility.

And that's maturity.

Walter Hill: "A thesaurus is helpful. When you write screenplays, you don’t have a lot of room, and the stage directions can become onerously repetitive if you don’t work at fresh descriptions. Try to show a reader a new way to see it." https://t.co/WBTVo7hVgC #screenwriting
