Tony Gilroy: "I like to start with small things in big environments, then just molecularly follow them out. You set these characters up, you believe in them, and you really get down in it with them, what they need, what they’re afraid of.” #screenwriting

John Steinbeck's 6 rules for the writer.

This really can’t be said enough. This is the foundation for everything we do in the writers room. So much of streaming has lost this sense of causation.

@UrTaxMoneyAtWrk @baddestmamajama Oh my experience was very specific to the film and TV world - meetings got shunted, everyone I was talking to disappeared till Friday
