Difficult Scenes
from Scriptnotes Podcast
John and Craig investigate why some scenes are so much harder to write than others, with strategies for tackling (or surrendering) to the difficulty. We also follow up on virtual rooms, act breaks, and diversity workshops. Listener questions this week include introducing twists, getting elbowed out of your project, and whether it’s possible to be too meta? In our bonus segment for premium members, Megana shares her experiences attending the Austin Film Festival for the first time. Links: MoviePass Executives Charged with Fraud Warner Bros.
