Description
What’s the most effective way filmmakers can explain what they do, to people who don’t understand the industry? How do you argue against the notion that “film is not a real industry?” What’s the best way to approach a film course, so you can get the most out of it?
In today’s episode, No Film School’s Charles Haine, GG Hawkins, and Jason Hellerman discuss:
Educating your family on what it takes to write a screenplay
Navigating outsider opinions on the film industry
Why we can still love filmmaking even if we aren't’ “Spielbergs”
How to get the most out of any film course you take
The most common defense mechanism of a filmmaker
Embracing the knowledge that you will always be learning
Why we can’t fathom the fact AI is writing screenplays
Memorable Quotes
“Many doors are not open in Hollywood, so you have to find a window to sneak through sometimes.” [4:16]
“If they can’t find that passion, I would change the subject to something that’s way worse.” [17:40]
“We deliberately erase the labor of the people who create the art we want to see, because we don’t like thinking about all the effort that went into it.” [19:00]
“You paid to take this class. So just pretend you have something to learn.” [34:13]
“The joy in a screenplay is witnessing another person’s humanity.” [41:12]
