'The Wonder' 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wonder_(film) Can't say I have ever seen an opening quite like this one (and a matching ending). And, this film shows how set design is done!! Stunning lighting work as well. Oh, yeah, and a really great story well played, filmed and...

Just finished watching season 2 of the Netflix series / Shondaland 'Brigerton'. Seriousy great work. Okay, for some it may feel like historical romance novel stuff (it's origin), but it really takes that genre to a whole new and fresh level. Season 1 felt a little slow, but these season 2 folks...

Bummer big time ... https://vidmax.com/video/211970-3-ca...uipment-stolen . . . . “It went for so much money and it was a Western and nobody knew what the **** we were doing.” - William Goldman, on the selling of the 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' screenplay. My Films and Work...

Forgive me if this is old enthusiam. I tend to run 5 years behind the times. That said, the series 'Taboo' is currently on Netflx - at least new to my area of the world. https://www.netflix.com/mx-en/title/80158276 I gotta say, these folks (creators, production, everyone) did everything right...

"The notion of directing a film is the invention of critics - the whole eloquence of cinema is achieved in the editing room." - Orson Welles Many would - and do - agree with him, so why in the heck are the Oscars doing this ... Among the awards that will be handed out in a pre-taped segment...

This is reason #3,248 that the art and science of screenwriting - and by default, film - is in a slow and agonizing death spiral. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LRE6XbY39A Utter ****ing garbage. Hope it chokes biggly. On an upside, and while writing for film still has a sliver of hope...

First cut on a trailer for a new short. Any feedback appreciated.

For you, yes, they are (were) getting longer. The average time dipped in the 80s/90s, then up again in the 00s. The bummer about this graph is that it's missing key dates (2014 to present) that include significant changes in content style and delivery. Point is, as writers we need to guess what...

This following response in is ref to this ... "or long short at 65 pages" Well Jesus Christ, add 15 more pages and make it a feature. There are no 65 minute shorts! Response ... My predition - and I could be wrong - is that we will see shorter features become more common. Say 60 to 90...

Nearly ten years in the making! Here are the first 140 pages of the 800, two-volume total. I'll post more as time allows for me to polish. Yes, you will find typos here. Live with it. A number of reasons I decided not to try and publish it. https://alexmwhitmer.wordpress.com/zz-excerpt/ Just...
