Description
Getting your script into the hands of the right people is extremely difficult. What is a desperate screenwriter to do if they seek feedback on their screenplay? Are script coverage services helpful or just another cog profiting from an emerging filmmaker’s hope?
In today’s episode, No Film School’s Charles Haine, GG Hawkins, and Jason Hellerman discuss:
Recalling memories from March 2020 when the world “shut down”
Why we are surprised that Nikon bought RED
The acquisition of BorrowLenses
The importance of the first 10 pages of your script
Why the opening scene of The Godfather is so powerful
The Gauntlet - a controversial script coverage service
What infuriates us about AI script coverage
Why AI cannot evaluate creative screenwriting
Hollywood, the hope machine
