"Are you developing a sense of conflict? Are your characters in opposition to each other?".." I'm always aware of the audience: Do they still want to know what comes next?" #screenwriter Ernest Lehman ( North by Northwest, ) #screenwriting #writing

" If you are too prescriptive in what you write, there is no room for their genius. But if you do not fight for your structure and underpinning, then everything will go to hell in an inchoate mess of actors’ improvisation and directorial overreach." - #screenwriter David Hare

[Screenwriting MFA @ScreenwritingNU]

"As a writer my objective is to show people another direction, to try to turn them inward rather than have them simply live in this outer framework". - Bruce Joel Rubin ( #screenwriter Jacob's Ladder, Ghost , etc) #screenwriters #screenwriting #movies #filmmaking #writing

"A film works when you, the audience, want something for a character as much as he wants it for himself. " - @TheAcademy award-winning #screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost, Jacob's Ladder etc).

"It's really easy to make a movie that five people understand. It's really hard to make something that a lot of people understand and yet is not obvious, still has subtlety and ambiguity, and leaves you with something to do as a viewer."
#screenwriter & director Steven Soderbergh
