Come in. Sit down. Pour yourself a deep cup of coffee and relax as Youtube and Mike De Luca present to you these clipped ten minute interviews taken from The Dialogue series, one-on-one conversations with some very successful screenwriters.
First up, Billy Ray
And finally a hilarious interview with Ted Griffin
Good, huh? So, what have we learned? If you want to be successful, don’t go to college. Don’t outline. Read bad scripts. Start your days at 4AM and write 170 page first drafts. Work at a dry cleaners. Spend six months prepping each script. Practice automatic writing. Write ten to twelve shitty specs. Do this for six to twenty years, and by the time you’re forty you should expect to sell your thirteenth spec, only to take your name off it. Simple, really.
