I consider my job as a screenwriter to pack a script with possibilities and ideas - to create a feast for the filmmaker to pick from.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being a professional screenwriter is perhaps the hardest occupation. Because nothing is ever yours and, by the nature of the medium, you are never ultimately responsible for your work. It can be interesting - if you have another outlet.
About a year ago I got really exhausted from reading bad scripts and I know that I am a writer and that I have stories to tell, so I thought, 'Let's do this!' So I'm co-writing a screenplay now with another screenwriter and loving it. Absolutely loving it. And I would like to be the producer on the project and of course the lead is me.
Being a screenwriter is not enough for a full creative life.
I hope I can become a good enough filmmaker where I can take a script that I'm not 'heart and soul' into, but I could still make something really great out of it.
I've been a screenwriter for twenty-five years. Every one of my books have been optioned for movies and I have written a few of those screenplays.
I love making movies and hope to write my own screenplay someday and do some producing and be behind-the-scenes as well.
I just really loved films and thought I should be writing screenplays.
I hope to be involved in a successful movie script.
All the films I do, I write the scripts, I direct.
I'm not saying I'm a writer, but I've been in movies for a long time, and I think I could write a script for a movie.
