David Fincher "I felt that what the script really needed to talk about was the notion of enforced collaboration: You may not like the fact that you’re going to be beholden to so many different disciplines and skill sets in the making of a movie, but if you’re not acknowledging it, you’re missing the side of the barn. A script is the egg, and it needs a donor to create the cellular split that moves it into the realm of something playable in three dimensions and recordable in two dimensions and presentable to other people." #writing #screenwriting https://bit.ly/37OEOI3

Just read Big Fish by @johnaugust. Cried for an hour in the parking lot after watching, never read the #script. Am assigning it to my #Screenwriting Elevated seminar students so I just read it. Am weeping. For the #writing & the #storytelling & my dad. Damnit @johnaugust & thank you.
