As I understand that a pitch is a presentation for platforms , right?

The Rodney King tape was the blood .

I don't trust America, the USA.

I was a teen during the OJ verdict . The outrage from whites was because he was found not guilty . Well, five white cops were found not guilty with visual evidence .

I cringe every time she says POV. Point of view has the same number of syllables. Just say point of view. Besides that I really loved this and learned a lot from this interview.

I have no facade .

Conversation ? Fuck being liked . Be righteous .

Peppe Lepew , the skunk from Looney Tunes was sexually abusing , harassing the pussy cat . I knew it was sexusl at 5 years old . 1983 .

Who was spiking the punch back in the 1940's , 50's, 60's , 70's , 80's, 90's and early 2000's , with the intent of taking advantage of someone , whether it was for sex or hitting up purses and wallets ? That was a crime then , so it is now .

folks are scared to get their precious ideas STOLEN.

You have to sell your soul

When you’re starting out you are too attached to your early scripts. Eventually, if you stick to it, you see your scripts like snowballs. If this one doesn’t land I’ll throw another. You get thicker skin. And that’s vital. Especially when married with a growing understanding to all the other aspects of the business. But boy oh boy, staying with it ain’t for the feint of heart.

I'm still learning as usual

Being likable goes a long way

LOVE Steve's warm, thoughtful, powerful insights

Industry - some kind of death, as for me...

What do you like about this one?

This man just spoiled her whole short film and didn’t even plug the writer or film name. 🤨

Absolutely right. If the reader/audience is confused or left wondering why a protagonist is doing what they are doing, they won't become fully invested in the story. They'll be thinking, why doesn't the hero simply walk away. What are the stakes for the hero, externally and internally. What are the consequences if they don't succeed? I'll add one more thing - The Midway Point is the best time in your story to "Raise the stakes." Then raise them again in the third act.

smart guy

The only thing that doesn't impress me about the idea of a character's coping mechanism is the "sex" part. THAT is EASY to do and THAT is why writers turn to it. They know that audiences will love the idea of someone sleeping around like crazy will keep the audience interested. EASY. The second easiest is a character just goes crazy with booze or drugs. Again, EASY. That never impresses me in a novel or film. It's just done so often that it doesn't impress me or keep me interested anymore. Very young audiences will like it very much, but that's not because it's great writing, it's just because its sex. Kinda stupid really.

Love the little nuance there between predictive, combinational, and generative AI! Very well said, Russell 👏👏👏🎬

if that’s the case,why is Kennedy still running LucasFilms?!!! 😓

it’s so superficial in Hollywood these days,just give your audience a good story the rest will take care of itself 🤔

he wasn’t wrong about The Rings of Power,it’s awful 😤

Thanku sir

30!!!!!!?

No.

I’m so tired of reboots prequels and sequels,instead of introducing something fresh and new,nowadays Hollywood would rather go the safe route with well known IPs 🤔

I wasn't talented enough to be an artist 🤧💔

I am a 2 year dancer and a small knowledge singer can i come in la i am from India

Wish I could forget theMatrix sequels.

I’m gonna turn myself into an AI developer and use AI tools. Fun stuff. I can do other stuff week but corporate America turns my stomach. So f it

1:47 okay, this introduction would get you FIRED as a writer.

In other words: "How to make a very, very bad film."

I know people are negatively critical of his opinions, but "It's a Disaster" (he was the screenwriter) is a fantastic movie.

I like that this video gets right to rhe point. Where's the money? 😂😂😂 Also, first!

Have you had a stage play published in Samuel French / Concord Theatricals? What has the experience been like for you?

I really hope there is no such thing as too old. I'm not ready to be covered in dirt.

How did the main protagonist get there? - He got there by being off-screen

I'm going to create , write and co direct, the biggest grossing movie of all time . Introducing a new genre , Comdramedy.

Gatekeeper

Duh, Michael wasn't James.

So, trashy reality TV isn’t trashy, because Dynasty trafficked in the same material ? It did, indeed. Trash is trash. Viewer hypocrisy doesn’t change the crummy nature of what YOU are trafficking in, sir.

Me trying to finish my second rewrite on my feature spec script 😂 maybe not entirely procrastinating..

Awesome 👏🏾

I love ❤️ the information he is delivering! I’m not an actor but I can sure apply this knowledge to my life!

This is great advice. Everyone has to be a pro but also... how's the hang?

Too bad they only make movies with homosexual content so most Americans can’t even watch them anymore.
