“The script is the most important aspect of the project.” There’s a reason we hear that ad nauseam. The failures of feature projects to even obtain distribution much less box office success often lies in the production team starting with a script that isn’t ready or just plain isn’t good. We know we must start with a good script, but do we know what makes a good script? Marketability? The Characters? The Story? And should we write it ourselves or find one? And where do we find one?   Hear from film and TV writers and producers on which of their projects succeeded or failed and why they believe that to be the case. They will also give tips and tricks on how to tap into your network to option a great project, as well as thoughts on how to know if your idea is worth the time to write it yourself. Whether a director or producer looking for your next project or a writer looking for inspiration, this is an episode for you!  From July 9, 2020.   Guests:  Anna Levine, Senior Manager of Curation - Dust (Gunpowder & Sky)  Jeffrey Reddick, Writer / Director  Camille Tucker, Writer / Director   Host: Jenn Page, Director / Producer   To learn more about Blackmagic Collective and everything we offer and sign up for FREE visit http://blackmagiccollective.com Thank you to our sponsors Blackmagic Design and Sigma!
