Got into screenwriting 6 years ago

Knew I’d return to creator education

Creator development best-practices don’t include contests

I’ve successfully taught this at-scale

Barked at script contests for 6 years w/ no platform so they can’t call me a bully when I scale it again 🥰

@seanward What’s the least ridiculous argument they make?

@HwoodScrptReadr @3rdpoint Things have been bad long enough that it’s leaking into everyone’s “story”

AI influencers will play an important role in destroying the screenwriting contest industry

[Sean Ward @seanward]

The anti-AI gatekeepers are officially hurting the very artists they claim to protect.

From legacy guilds blackballing talent to platforms banning indie creators, the hypocrisy is fully unmasked. Breaking down the platform wars, the Adobe/Topaz shift, and the workflows sweeping X.

Writers used to hand off pages and pray.

The writers who survive in the future are the ones who also produce. They'll finish the script, figure out the money, the shoot, the release, and set up the business, because that's what it is: A BUSINESS.

Tom Cruise negotiated access to every production meeting at Top Gun as a condition of signing, not for money, but for education

“I got in the car and I was, my agent at the time was taking me to the airport. I said, 'Look, I'm gonna make this movie. Okay.' I said, 'But don't tell them that.'”

“I negotiated a deal where they had to allow me into every production meeting, every aspect, like behind the scenes and see how Don and Jerry produced movies, every aspect of it.”

“Tony Scott, what he accomplished with those jets was extraordinary. He changed aerial photography, he changed motor sports. The way that you see these sports being filmed today is because of Tony Scott.”

“And I want everyone to know that what an artist he is.”

In case you missed it...

On TVs, streaming is now bigger than broadcast and cable combined.

YouTube is the #1 streaming service on TVs, with more >60% more TV viewership on TVs than #2 Netflix.

Any questions?

The “luck” myth is so harmful

Needs to end

[jay plemons @jayplemons]

Will Ferrell reveals his father's best career advice about luck:

"He gave me the best showbiz advice ever. He was like, If it was based on talent, I wouldn't I wouldn't worry about you. You've got talent, but there's so much luck.

Give it a shot, but don't get discouraged if you get down the road and you're like, This is just too hard. You didn't fail. You tried and you're capable to just pivot and do something else and walk."

"It took the pressure of succeeding."

"I thought, well, I'm not going to make it anyway. Let's just have fun. And it just allowed me to be loose."

@nevslin Had an idea for an epic fantasy graphic novel. Couldn’t draw, so I wrote it as a movie script first. Once I realized I created a viable fantasy world, it was a wrap. No turning back.
