Episode 102: Improv and First Drafts

from Story Makers Show Hosted by Book Writing World

In this week’s episode, while Elizabeth finishes up this latest round of edits, while Angie turns her attention to her summer project. She’ll be creating the scaffolding of a short film and, with a small number of actors, will work on improvising a film. Improv is a tool, be it short form improv like Who’s Line Is It Anyway, or even Harold, a more long form improv game. Improv with actors and a director and film however, will be an interesting balancing act of not squashing opportunities while letting moments happen naturally.
