Episode 95: Scott Marcano

Having been in the filmmaking industry for nearly three decades, filmmaker and author Scott Marcano has seen some things. In this episode of The Written Scene, Scott discusses the many but expensive avenues to getting published, the weight of artists doing jobs others used to do, why it's important to read and how we schedule time for it, how he became the co-writer for the movie Bio-Dome, writing movie sequels vs. writing book trilogies, releasing small bits of art for free and watching who buys more, the exhausting and ugly full-time job of social media, how time may or may not change people we know from our youth, becoming a better person through personal challenges, writing non-stereotypical villains by understanding how they became a villain, a little family therapy, the lack of integrity in the arts and larger world, and much more.
