More than EVER, we need good storytellers. Put a human face on The Other. Shed light on a Deeper Truth. Engender Empathy. Fan the flames of Hope. Motivate people to Act. Make us Laugh. Make us Cry. Make us Thrilled. Make us Think. But mostly, make us feel our Shared Humanity.

Character Types: Addict, Destroyer, Gambler, Loner, Orphan, Rookie, Warrior, more. Use archetypes to inform and inspire your character and story development. https://t.co/njC0AXoBIK #screenwriting #writing

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.”

Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?”

Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.”

Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”

“I can’t think of anyone more qualified in this field than Scott. His expertise and ability to break down character and story can serve as a guiding light to the next generation of screenwriters.” - Charlie Wachtel, Academy Award, BlacKkKlansman. https://t.co/i7nxvc4fl2

Richard Lagravenese: “That energy, if it’s not channeled in the proper respectful manner, will come out in destructive ways. Do I do a particular script because it’s a high-profile project? I have to check... Is it a temptation or a gift." https://t.co/FZO3qwwqPb #screenwriting

Kurt Vonnegut: “Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow.” #writing

Chris Mundy: “If you have a choice between a hard plot and what falls more on the emotional side, always fall on the emotional side. People watch shows because they love the characters much more than the things that happen to those characters." #screenwriting

Kurt Vonnegut: “The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow.” #writing
