It's always healthy to be taken down a notch, even though it's humbling.
From Geoffrey S. Fletcher
I don't think there's enough breadth to the stories told about African-Americans.
It may take hundreds of pages before you begin to get a handle on the craft of writing, and your first scripts may not work. The next five to twenty may not either. However, the ones that do work owe everything to the ones that didn't.
My M.F.A was in directing, and all the films I've made, for film school and after, I've written, directed and shot.
If you do the math, films featuring women are a good investment.
I devoted myself to writing for years without representation or a promise of anything. And there were times when I felt quite down about my prospects.
