Critics, Characters and Business Affairs
from Scriptnotes Podcast (.mp3)
John and Craig were delighted to join the Slate Culture Gabfest on stage to talk about the gulf between critics and creators. We have the audio from that, and additional thoughts on the issue. Then, how many characters does your movie need? We talk about how to figure out the Goldilocks spot where you have enough characters to make your world feel real, but not so many that they’re tripping over each other. Finally, business affairs, and how understaffed legal departments create problems for writers and studios.
