Hard-working – and very talented – producer/writer/director Matt Wilson has a tale to tell about his latest film (and an “Aw Shucks” mention about TVWriter.Com) Enjoy!
The first industry recognition I ever received came in 2001 when Larry
Brody read and liked some of my animation sample scripts that I sent to TVWriter.com. This set me on a course to eventually meeting animation producers and getting hired to write for Krypto: The Superdog. My first big break.
Oh, and here’s a quote from one of my favorite network execs. (Okay, not so favorite an exec because he did indeed drive me crazily into the arms of a little pill called Xanax, but definitely a valued friend):
LB’s NOTE: Charlie Jane Anders is a TVWriter.Com favorite. I’m really hoping she doesn’t sue me for sharing this. In other words, Sit back and enjoy yourself as a really, really, really fine writer gives away one of her biggest secrets about – guess what – writing.
Narrators! You can’t rely on them these days. They always let you down, even the ones who have five stars on Yelp. One time, I hired a narrator to move a sofa and they claimed they brought it to my house, but it was actually five blocks away. Freaking narrators.
You’ve probably heard, or even used, the phrase “unreliable narrator.” But what is an unreliable narrator, and why do we keep them around even though they let us down constantly?
Almost no one ever heard about this, and now it’s all over, “except for the shouting.”
