Writing Feature Films: Should I bother writing a feature on spec? (Approaches III)

from Emerging: How to Eventually Make it in Film & TV

And so we reach the marathon of all screenwriting undertakings - the original, arguably the most fun, but certainly the most complex - the feature film. Why is it so hard? Why does it take forever to make it through Act Two? And how do you make it through the whole thing without tossing the entire script out of the digital window because it's just not very good (yet)? In the third and final part of our little trilogy of episodes, we're looking at how each of us in turn approaches writing a feature, from building early mood boards and soundtracks to trying to trick ourselves with treatments. We vary a lot here too, lots of great advice within!📬 Get In Touch:Email us: [email protected] us on Instagram: @theemergingpodBen is @bmlrobinsMartin is @bananabreadfilmTray is @ByTrayepps✨ Support the Show:If you enjoyed the episode, please rate and review!
