Yes, it’s true. Time to talk about what’s happening at TVWriter University, AKA with the various TVWriter™ workshops we hold every month.
The 152nd Advanced Online TV and Film Writing Workshop finished its 4-week run last week, but don’t despair – Numero 153 will start in 2 weeks, on Wednesday, October 7, 2015.
by Larry BrodyTime now to answer a question because now’s when I’ve got the time:
CB wants to know:
Hi Larry. Do you have any bibles for recent one-hour drama series? I actually have a producer interested in a contest winning series pilot…but she wants a ‘traditional series bible’ as opposed to the 9-page summary I’ve done. I have the bible for Lost, which is really a guide for staff writers, and she says that should not be used.
Film and video thrive on truth. The more truthful the work we create, the more powerful.
Even if we don’t know what the truth is.
While scrolling around the interwebs the other day, minding my own business, I came across this stunning example.
This is only the trailer for YOUTH, a new film written and directed by Paolo Sorrentino starring Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel, and Rachel Weisz, but it made me cry.
I may even go to a theater to see this one. (That would be the second time this year. The first was for AGE OF ULTRON.)
Having known quite a few Southern women in my time, I found myself attracted to this series as soon as I read the title. And guess what? It turned out to be amazingly well done. Very well written. Very well acted. Well shot.
In other words, no shit here, amigos.
