It is a similar framework, but you replace the transformation with a core belief. You can read more here: storyandplot.link/LWep2l
@storyandplot How would this analogy work for a flat arc where the protagonist already knows his truth and changes everyone else?
Don't worry about on-the-nose dialogue in your screenwriting. It's a misleading term used to describe the actual problem: The lack of emotional truth. That's what the audience cares about. Earn the moment, be truthful, and you can be as on the nose as you want.
My first time working with a producer, I had just read William Goldman's Adventures in the Screen Trade. I tried to style my screenwriting after his Butch and Sundance format. It was... aggressive. The producer was like, "What the hell is this?" "That's how William Goldman…
TENSION IS NOT CONFLICT. Conflict is the character's wants and the forces opposing those wants. Tension is about the audience's reaction to those things. If the audience doesn't care what happens, the amount of conflict will not matter.
Few things make your screenwriting more compelling than dramatic tension. It is one of the most effective tools you have as a storyteller. Here's how to wield it whenever needed in your writing and where writers often go wrong. 👇
@CultureCrave Denis Villeneuve about deleted scenes in the Dune movies
Denis Villeneuve reveals the reasons for his color palette choices for Dune: Part Two. The sequel is playing in theaters worldwide and has already cracked the top 25 highest-rated films of all time on Letterboxd. Watch the full interview here: boxd.it/4z0
My interview timing had ended yet Denis Villeneuve was awesome enough to let me sneak in one more quick question. I was blown away by the infrared lenses Greig Fraser used to create that brutal black & white look of Giedi Prime. A little insight into that process. #DunePartTwo
@KevinMcCarthyTV We spoke with Greig about this too! What a genius and visually gorgeous way to differentiate the worlds. I hope Denis + Greig keep working together forever.
Cinematographer Greig Fraser explains why shooting infrared was the “perfect solution” for Austin Butler’s Feyd-Rautha and the Harkonnen planet Giedi Prime in Dune Part Two. #DuneMovie Watch and listen on #TheMoviePodcast Pod: bio.to/themoviepodcast YT: youtu.be/G1dhMD1u2fM?si…
I spent the early years of my screenwriting career trying to pass off my laziness, insecurity, and fear of rejection as artistic integrity. It did nothing but hurt my career and delay my growth. Be teachable. Admit you're not as good now as you will be so you can keep growing.

Screenwriting is all about how many nos you have left in you. If you can hear "no" one more time, you're still in the game.
7 traits of high performers: 1. Highly focused on their goals 2. Get shit done 3. Have a positive attitude 4. Obsess over quality 5. Healthy work-life balance 6. High integrity 7. Produce results
Screenwriting is difficult. Once we accept this — that it is difficult — and abandon the idea that if it is difficult, something must be wrong, then we just go on. We go about our job doing this challenging thing.
Once, about three weeks from shooting, I was told to cut pages from a screenplay. I didn't know any better so I cut "non-essential" lines and moments. I trimmed scenes, but I didn't cut any set-ups! We saved little production time, but I ripped the life out of that poor script.
Takashi Yamazaki wants to work with Hollywood actors on his next film “If you know any A-List talent who loved 'Godzilla' so much they'd do it for one-fifth their normal rate, let me know" (via @RottenTomatoes)
"I think the only innocent creature in the film is the dog." Sandra Hüller talks about the ambiguity in "Anatomy of a Fall." | Oscars Luncheon
Reveal your protagonist's plan for the future as early as you can. What do they think tomorrow will look like? Whatever the inciting incident brings, it's not bringing THAT. This allows your screenwriting to explore a wider emotional response and a far more unexpected turn.
