502 - Free Will (Or, It's Okay to Not Be a Screenwriter)

Scriptnotes Podcast - Een podcast door John August and Craig Mazin - Dinsdagen

Categorieën:

John and Craig discuss the concept of free will, specifically how it relates to fictional characters. They outline the tightrope screenwriters walk balancing characters with agency against obstacles that feel true. We also talk about decisions screenwriters face in their careers and why it’s okay (and difficult) to change paths. We answer listener questions about optioned scripts and child screenwriting prodigies. Finally, in our bonus segment for premium members we discuss AP exams. Warning: Craig has umbrage.
