My personal favourite is The satin slipepr by Paul Claudel. But picking my a favourite isn't really easy. Just as I like The satin slipper for what it is, I like plays from David Ives(ex. Sure thing) or some other plays for how they work. I've thought about what is essentially unique to theatre that TV or Cinema doesn't have(still haven't found any concrete answer for that). Sometimes I wonder is it dialogue? Does dialogue necessarily have to deal with character psychology or all that stuff? What if we through all that stuff out of the window, or maybe approach that in a different way.

Mamet is rare! Tells the objective truth and this is as rare as courage!

If you want to learn how to write a screenplay, stop watching videos like this, its a waste of time.

good vid

41:40 boih, this gave me enlightment.

Bitcoin will fix all of this

Interestingly I am writing a courtroom drama and the prosecutor walking quickly toward a witness is not part of the transcripts

I never want to write for hire…I don’t think I could write a story that is important to someone other then myself…my suggestion buy some bitcoin cos in the next few years it’s the Bitcoiners who will be financing, not studios! Bitcoin is going to change the way films are distributed! Studios are on their way out…can’t wait!

My flowery pros author teachers would say, ‘show don’t tell,’ but I think in screenplays show, and tell works better! My major suggestion to every screenwriter…..don’t listen to anything an author says! Writing a book takes no to little skills compared to a screenplay!

Sound is the ost important thing here! No one cares how it looks but we need good sound!

There is a lot to LIKE in this video.

Thanks for bringing such an intelligent person so full of insights to speak at your show! Cheers!

I hate those unnecessary transition effects like her chopping example. poor writing to me...

We made a fantastic movie called killer witches from outer space and got completely screwed..I'm afraid to say it but the system is fixed

Great info on this video. Pretty much reaffirmed what I think I should do with my next film. And here's my first shitty low budget movie as requested. 😂 th-cam.com/video/M9j6qh2lkCw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=U9u8tePFdKe1FsjQ

great channel!!!! thank so much bro great info!

nice , what was the font in the thumbnail?

I'm not a writer myself, but I read a lot of scripts for work - this was very helpful for improving my feedback as a reader. Thanks !

When you push mom down the stairs, she should come to rest at the second daughter's feet. The first daughter says, "she called me a bitch". All caught up.

25:50 this is every writers fear about sending a script off

What's wrong with quoting Hemingway? One of the greatest American writers.

You said “like” 1,712 times combined. I counted.

Love this and love the cats popping up in the background lols

say "like" one more time

They talk about "Prelab"? Is that how it is spelled? What does the word mean, in general?

I've had that 7' umbrella in my cart for so long, but I just know it would cut my tiny studio in half. Great results though, thanks for sharing.

Diversity is such a stupid way to determine a winner. Its a contest. Its a meritocracy by definition

Amazing.

the mics weren't working?

A lot of Mamet's contemporary political and social views are abhorrent to me, but I don't think that's any reason not to read his book. I think you shouldn't read this book because it sucks. It's full of advice that sounds kind of smart, but I think is really bad. Like the idea that the only direction that should be given to an actor is "Read the lines as written, and make sure you speak loud enough to be heard." Since he is primarily known as a writer, it is clear that Mamet believes his script is the actual star of the show. But there is something about his disinterest in conveying emotion that really bugs me about his work. It's funny that he should say New Yorker poetry is bad because nobody can remember it; funny enough that is exactly how I've felt about his movies for the past many years. When I watch a David Mamet movie, I'm usually engaged (sometimes) and I find myself thinking about how well-written and put-together it is. But once it is over, it's almost immediately gone from my mind. There's rarely a performance that really stands out, or a scene composition seared into my brain, or a character interaction that moves me emotionally.

She is brilliant and mature. I ve known less mature novel readers..

It’s hard to listen to you when you say “like” so much.

Allow me to translate: Sensitive tat bro recognizes Mamet's genius, but also realizes his boyfriend and social circle will ostracize him if he doesn't call Mamet a n*zi for not being woke.

Guitar players feel the same anxiety every time a new fancy foot pedal comes up. Many guitarists spend too much time in search on the perfect tone instead of just practicing and honing the skill.

the audio was 100% a non-issue. great video

Thank you very much for sharing, Dean and Joslyn! Great conversation!

This video was awesome! would love to see more videos like this man!

In all fairness, classical musicians use the term "musical" to describe good technique or artistry all the time, especially in regards to phrasing. I know what you mean, though.

Solid!

Frank is Top Shelf. Much continued Success. Good job guys.

Glad to see you doing some good interviews on your free time on the side while working full time sending pitbulls to nurseries.

People who can't separate the art from the artist and people who won't do it so newer generations avoid their shameful actions, are the same people, both endow artists with some kind of sacred moral duty. Just take the imperfect wisdom they have to share. Or shall we talk about Alice Munro?

The lyrical economy underlying the construction of a sentence might be justifiable for the sake of achieving a poetic "mot juste" but the worship of "ruthless efficiency" to guide the entire writing process is the businessman's approach to art. it is what dollar-trapping publishers believe in to make writing palatable to a market of impatient consumers who don´t know any better because their appetites have been dulled by the likes of Colleen Hoover and Dan Brown, but good writing should be the exact opposite - inefficient, meandering, labyrinthine, meditative. How efficient was Thomas Wolfe, Kerouac or Celine?

2024... poor sound ...

amazing! Joslyn hits on so many gems in this video

Whats ironic about it, is that Marvel films are almost rec709 and they appeal the widest audience and make the most money.(even low budget films that are successful on Tubi are like LOG still haha) Not that Im supporting that...but finding the middle ground is the move. Just always ask. What would Roger Deakins do and youll get your answer.

What a usefull video ^^ Thank you !

Thank you for this! As a young filmmaker learning how everything works I really appreciate stuff like this!

I liked this very much. Thank you to the both of you!
