In the screen trade, Readers are the proverbial guardians at the gate, the first line of defense the industry has against the teeming horde of wannabes, sycophants and otherwise undiscovered geniuses prostrate before the gaping maw of the great bitch goddess of Hollywood.
These literate worker-bees are the oily cogs of the dream machine. They produce [...]

I&#8217;d heard it before ? clink, clunk, clink, clunk ? like some nervous junior exec sifting pocket change in his chinos. Everyone on the Backlot claimed to have heard it at least once and reported, variously, that it was &#8220;like an alarm clock being wound,&#8221; or &#8220;thimbles on a washboard,&#8221; and perhaps most lyrically, from [...]

My fashionably faux-bearded partner Cary Carpe and I just rescued our latest script, &#8220;Painting By Numbers,&#8221; a commercial spec of the proverbial &#8220;high concept&#8221; variety eleven drafts in, from being recycled by the studio as a coffee cup insulator composed of 33% post consumer waste. This is ironic seeing as the screenplay itself is already [...]

All this future-baiting (see below) reminds me of a moment that occurred last week at the Directors Guild of America, where my writing partner Cary Carpe and I screened our new spot for the 7th Annual Filmmakers Alliance Screening. The event served, in part, as a tribute to &#8220;Sideways&#8221; director Alexander Payne who was on [...]
