“I think part of being a writer, or an actor, is letting yourself feel things without judgment. A director leads an army into battle; a screenwriter leads characters into danger. They’re vastly different jobs, which require different temperaments. ”

For any storyteller considering directing, or anyone who wonders why it seems nearly all film-makers are assholes this is a must read.

Ever wondered what the perfect studio is for a writer. Craig Mazin at the The Artful Writer gives his take on it. As a storyteller and screenwriter all I can say is, “amen brother,” and call me a drive-on.
