DZ-88: Drama in Genre clothing

from Draft Zero: a screenwriting podcast · host Chas Fisher & Stu Willis

Listen if you're writing a genre film but sense your story wants to become something else entirely. Stu and Chas reunite with TV writer & director Kodie Bedford to look at how some films start out as genre but gradually become character dramas. Or, as Stu never said on the episode "Genre in the streets, Drama in the sheets". Together, they break down HUSTLERS, PIG and POWER OF THE DOG, to see how these films use their genre trappings to hook their audience while ultimately delivering something else entirely. We discuss chapter breaks, inciting incidents, character questions, theme and MORE. Thanks to Chris Walker for editing this episode.
