Storytelling is a way to understand the world. This pursuit of truth through fiction is what has inspired me to write screenplays. That, and the pure joy of it. It’s a labor of love.
Screenwriting is a great way for visual thinkers to explain their ideas. I enjoy everything about it; from the first rough draft to the courier font.
I write reasonably fast. If I have an idea, I can run with it for hours on end. Often the story will develop itself, and so writing becomes an act of discovery.
