Live Writing Class - “Judgment & Creativity”

Описание: Today I’ll be talking about expectations, disappointment and judgment - our self-inflicted injuries as artists.

I’ll refer to one of my recent Substack posts:

After that - we talk about:

Can a movie work without an antagonist?

Is suffering required to make art?

What is symbolism in a movie and how do symbols and images function as a narrative tool? How are they integrated into the screenplay?

Is it possible to write like David Lynch?

Is there a way to make a scene suspenseful? (See the “WITHHOLDING” video, link below!)

Any tips to help us improve about imagination? (See “IMAGINATION and INSTINCT videos below!)

How do we deal with indie producers - should we do free work?

Is it better to write before our day job, or after?

A producer in another country is interested in my script. Should I talk to them?

In answering, I refer to these videos - please check them out:
