In this episode of "A Conversation With," I sat down with Craig T Williams, Film Writer/Producer, and Editor.  Craig shared with me the importance of rewriting your script. "Rewrites are important because there has to be a moment during the process of creativity where you understand the story you're telling, and sometimes you don't understand that story until you've written it 3 4 5 6 times."
