I've come to find more satisfaction and enjoyment in writing screenplays over the years because that's what I do primarily now.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just really loved films and thought I should be writing screenplays.
Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying. I've never been happier.
I prefer working, period. I think that I like doing film more just because when you get a script, you have the story from start to finish, so you can really find the character's arc, and when you walk away from it, you know you're sort of powerless to what happens.
I love film and have taken a stab at a screenplay. I love writing dialogue and found it highly enjoyable.
I really just love to open a blank document and spew, whereas with a screenplay I have to be more judicious.
I started writing screenplays myself and eventually directing.
I think the most satisfying part about filmmaking is seeing a production in full bloom. When I write, I write in isolation.
I did write a couple of original screenplays, but I'd rather write plays.
I became a script writer with absolutely no idea of how to write a script whatsoever. I still feel a bit of an outsider in that regard. If I can maintain that approach to screenwriting, it can continue to be enjoyable.
There's a satisfaction I get from writing fiction that I will never get from screenwriting.
