You ideally would be able to trust the follks who run the programs, the producers, agents you interact with to challenge you with the right questions. And people making great work do! 3/3 #ARRAYNow

@boliver36 @ARRAYNow You're welcome. Thanks for joining us. :)

The characters and the script are two pieces of the same puzzle. There is first the soul of a character, maybe you don’t even know their name. Maybe their name keeps changing every time you write a new scene for them. Until finally the words start to feel right.

[Bernard Oliver @boliver36]

@Topple How much time do you spend with characters before writing a script? #ARRAYNow

[Topple @Topple]

@StevenMTaylorTT xx!!

[Topple @Topple]

I like to limit the number of hours I write per day so that when I’m not working, I can wonder. And ask questions and then get excited about the answers. #ARRAYNow

It’s basically that, imaginary people that you spend time with in your mind when you get the honor to write them. #ARRAYNow

That you would pay to do. So -- I do go to mentors every so often with specific questions or over lunch but I also counsel people not to wait for anything and or anyone and just make work, make work, make work. 2/3

[Topple @Topple]

It’s weird but I don’t have a lot of mentors coming to mind because I never liked to ask for help. And I ultimately don’t think it’s that easy for other people to guide you to success. Truth is, the filmmaking has to be something you would do no matter what. 1/3

[Steven M Taylor @StevenMTaylorTT]

@Topple @ARRAYNow @Topple How did you go about developing your directorial voice before the breakthrough? And what was the journey that lead to someone willing to take a risk on your vision? How early in your career did you find a champion mentor?#ARRAYNow

[Topple @Topple]

Great to see you here!!

[Topple @Topple]

cont....
it means displaying the same kind of leadership you would on the set – motivating everyone forward to the best art. #arraynow

@indietrailers I’ve had filmmakers give me great advice on this. Make your trailer just as important as you make your film. You have to take the lead at every single turn, and that doesn’t mean arguing with the marketing team,
