While drinking a beer on the couch, simmering after a long work day, I kicked back to watch an episode of HBO's the Newsroom (it gets relevant, promise). In the episode, Jeff Daniels plays an anchor that goes on a rant, claiming that 20-something Americans are members of the worst generation ever. Hearing that statement only reminded me of the numerous times I've been on the receiving end of that same generalization by some "old schoolers" in the business world that claim our generation is "enti …

Writer’s Block: Is It Real? Why do we want to write but find ourselves unable to do it? Perhaps it is as simple as this: We are simply having a thought -- a thought like: I don’t have the time.

I am no good at it. Not really. Others are better at it than I am. I’m too tired. I need to watch TV or check …

As screenplay writers, I think most of us write because part of our passion is fueled by the movies, which inspires us. Personally, I prefer to breakdown a movie by watching it rather than reading the script. That’s why I created this group. This is a group where screenplay writers can discuss what makes great movies work from a story point of view. I think, if we all were to watch a film then discuss a film with fellow screenwriters afterwards - from the perspective of breaking down how the sto …
