A Talk About Dialog(ue)!
from Screenwriting: From the Trenches Hosted by Rob Hagans & Kay Tuxford
CRAFT EPISODE! Rob and Kay get on the mic to have "A Talk About Dialog" (see what we did there?) First about how to spell it, then about how it should be done in your screenplays. We also talk about how Hollywood doesn't -- apparently -- know how to market Viola Davis as a badass, the scientific facts surrounding melanin in (Little) Mermaids, and how a Twitter battle almost brewed into literal fisticuffs. Y'all know how we do! Our Weekly Resource: Google screenplay dialog and you’ll get a ton of stuff, but this week’s resource from Lessons From the Screenplay on YouTube has a specific example of how to write a battle with words, aptly titled “Writing a Final Battle” using A Few Good Men as it’s example. This video has the dual bonus of being of Aaron Sorkin stanning pedigree, so we can’t help but to recommend it.
