Have you ever gotten a job from someone you met at a party?

Do Jurassic Park!!

"Save the Cat"... is in my TRASH... Not one time in that book did they SHOW what a Script or Screenplay looks like. "Show Don't Tell".... I love all book... I am a writer... and I have only thrown 2 books in the TRASH and "Save the Cat" is one of them... Very Disappointed in it.

Was waiting for but didn't hear "In real time." If it's not in real time, you can cut wherever and however you want. I just watched the trailer (looks dope!), and the room appears so big that even if the movie is in real time you can still cut all over the place and now I'm baffled. I want to understand! (this is how you get me to watch your movie, clever indeed!)

I would say one Actor and to multiple locations 😊

He's one of my favorite guests. He's so open and gives gold.

Here is our full interview with Jason - ua-cam.com/video/sxR8EJnMKkE/v-deo.html

Would you ever film a movie with one actor in one location?

😂😂

What's the difference between a script analyst, script consultant and a script doctor? Cody explains in this video - ua-cam.com/video/UWe3CzmHoTw/v-deo.html

Combining different books is the best way to find your own rhythm and style.

2024 now and pretty much nothing in this video is reality. Studios/Streamers have switched to "implosion mode" where they are only proceeding with DEI projects from no talent hacks that have the right pronouns and politics. The writers strike and covid have pretty much killed off the industry. Star Wars, Star Trek and Doctor Who are all dead, DEI'd to death, and the contests now will ONLY select DEI purple hair winners. One of the major screenplay/film festivals have chosen DEI winners for the great majority of their winners for four years in a row. The film world Corey is talking about with story engines no longer exists. If you have the right pronouns, and skin color and sexual orientation and have a script that follows "the message" you might be able to proceed. If you are a normal person with a great screenplay. Forget it.

I love this idea for the 2nd act but I do feel that the midpoint should have some kind of major event or decision happening to shift the story to a different gear

Have you read either book?

Jill is absolutely correct...you can combine different screenwriting books. You should actually! To me, Jill's technique focuses on more of the emotional arc of the story. Whereas, Save the Cat's Beat Sheet is like a structure for your emotional story. Jill provides an emotional map. I use Save the Cat, Nutshell Technique and Alan Watt's tips as well.

The secret to a great movie title is that you believe in it and stand by it 100%

If someone asked you how many scenes are in a movie / screenplay... what would be your answer?

I (with massive help from Film Haven, a local production company) just shot my first short film (well, the first one that's gonna be any good) a few weekends ago. I'm the screenwriter, co-director, and executive producer.

The falling into a deep chasm death also was how they killed Sirius black in Harry Potter in a way. In the film he just falls back into this foggy void and we’re like “wtf?!”. I never liked how they killed him like that. And on the swappings (gender, race, etc), I’ve never liked that because it’s trying to fix something that was never broken and it’s implying that the opposites of whatever is being swapped (if it’s mostly a male cast switching to all females, mostly white switching to all black, etc), it’s implying that those people could never have watched, enjoyed or related to those characters/story UNLESS they saw someone “who looks like them.” That’s INCREDIBLY sexist/racist/discriminatory because it’s saying flat out “you’re too stupid to enjoy, relate or understand what’s being shown to you. So we have to ‘dumb it down’ so you’ll get it.” That’s WAY worse than any “white washing” or whatever has ever been done I would think. Could you imagine going up to a black woman and saying “sorry, but you’re too stupid to watch Steel Magnolias as is, so we have to put Queen Latifah in it so you’ll understand what’s happening.” 😱 You’d get your face bashed in (or worse) because that’s terrible and racist as all get out. Yea, sure, we need movies to represent SOME things, but when a movie is ONLY made for that, there is ZERO question or doubt - that movie is trash with a capital garbage. They focus on the propaganda and little to no focus at all on the story - which is the ENTIRE point of the film. But they do this to ride the waves of civil unrest. It’s like war profiteering. They make the most money (they think) on movies that are geared for the targeted groups. It’s truly sad that movies and so many other great entertaining mediums are being suffocated with money hungry, non creative mentalities. With everything “getting a comeback” - from clothes to film to games - we’re back in the 90/80/70/60s but the passion and creativity from those eras isn’t alive anymore. We’re just sticks in the mud, sinking from stagnation. Such a shame 😞

I've noticed that often, if a movie wants an audience to feel sympathy or empathy for a tough, sullen male lead character who can't speak his emotions, they give him a dog!

Did you start making shorts first or did you make a feature first?

What advice do you have for anyone thinking about buying a camera?

I believe that the movie "Flesh" and actor Joe Dalessandro were the first exhibition of complete male nudity!

I rewatch every Jack Grapes interview at least once a week. Great stuff!!!

Don't reimagine - create new instead and this way prove to us the audiences that you can actually come up with good ideas yourself, instead of leaching on to what has already been done before and twisting it to cover an agenda.

No wonder movies suck now lol.

Global warming? You lost me. Bye bye.

The title and thumbnail made me think of Travis as a replicant in Blade Runner "I'll tell you about my mother!"

Here is our full interview with P.M. - ua-cam.com/video/rmxm-iIzs84/v-deo.html

A big advantage is in the UK theatre scene, TV industry and film industry are all in the same city, so British actors hone their skills in all three mediums making them more skilled actors. Also in British acting schools actors are trained to play all parts, while Americans actors are trained to play certain types of characters leading to less versatile actors.

The concentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands over the past forty years has had a significant impact on the lack of creativity we are seeing in anything that is artistic or aesthetic or requires charm. Greedy people aren't interested in aesthetics. They are interested in money. As wealth is more and more concentrated in the hands of the greedy, aesthetics naturally suffer. Movies and the entertainment industry are suffering greatly because artistic people have no money while the folks with the money are essentially dead inside. We really pay a great price for the pox of wealth concentration that we have experienced over the past four decades. Look at the monstrosities like Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Las Vegas - where rich, soul-less people are obsessed with building these huge charmless grossly expensive monuments to nothing.

I was so excited for Civil War even though it had some good parts , overall, I will give it a three out of five

Ok. But what about Australian actors?

Thank you for this clip of Ramfis, it’s one of the reasons this channel convinced me to give the entire reputation of producers a second chance :) So I guess it’s possible to work within Hollywood while being a decent human being after all😅

8:47 - The 3 Skills A Producer Should Have

"it's on my site for purchase" You just told me it's available but how do I "KNOW" I should purchase it ? Show don't tell my friend 😂

“Notes” as in?

True Detective is sitting in the corner like "uh-huh... okay... mm..."

I've taken Corey's course. Its not easy, but learned that compelling conflict! Thanks Corey! ❤

Didn't use to. Started. But I'm finding it difficult because the scenes start opening up as I'm writing and the characters start to come to life. I find them 'saying things' I hadn't anticipated. It works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm working on something that begs to be outlined because it's so involved with lots of twists and turns. I think a roadmap is necessary.

I absolutely love this interviewer, and Jack is one of my favorite people to listen to when it comes to writing advice. Thanks for your time and work. 🌷

v

so have an in, its not what you kno always but who you know

I just watch this video again and again...like a song I like...❤best wishes from Switzerland yours truly Katrin

Thank you for this interview, both to Ken Atchity and the interviewer behind the camera! For me it is great to hear Ken's thoughts, some of which I remember from a class of his at Occidental College, and many which have to do with life as a whole (and not only about writing, eg, for Hollywood productions). A big applause to you guys!

wow amazing advice at 32-33:00 , cant believe this doesnt have a ton of views
