Just started my first script and it's enough to make me want to quit before I even get the first draft done... but I won't, because I think writers are an inherently hopeful bunch, and we write because we love it and we hope that maybe we might be lucky enough to have a good run at it...!Rinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115466493102692671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-57345444815976455742012-12-09T23:08:11.294-08:002012-12-09T23:08:11.294-08:00Informative post

Wou...Love the post.<br />Big thanks to Bitter and Eric.<br /><br />Would also recommend Scott Frank's BAFTA speech.<br />Somewhere in the middle of it, he talks (lengthily) about this and the difficulty in getting paid. <br />It's both funny, and yes, sad.<br /><br />Oh... And one more thing.<br />When the studios send him a script, 99% of the time, he's asking himself -- Why are they making this movie?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02461573315451618820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-36524333552437069312012-12-03T12:59:47.395-08:002012-12-03T12:59:47.395-08:00Bitter, more awesome stuff!

Experienced this in the realm of commercial production as well, but there you can at least hide behind anonymity when the work is seen. It must be absolutely brutal to have your name on a movie and be subjected to the peanut gallery screaming HACK and PEDESTRIAN when the final script fails to represent your voice. <br /><br />I'm watching BARTON FINK tonight in tribute to every writer who has weathered the storm.
