Coffee & Content: In The Screening Room With Martin Scorcese And Leonardo DiCaprio

Happy Sunday, Creative Army!

First, congratulations to all of you who have already participated in our monthly Introduce Yourself Weekend! Thousands of connections have been made between entertainment creatives and professionals from around the globe. Whether you are a long-time member or brand new to Stage 32, take a moment to pop over to the Introduce Yourself Lounge and say hello before the end of the weekend.

First up, in this video from Letterboxd, Oscar winners Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio give a look into the infamous director's "screenwriting room." During the production of Scoresese's films, he screens films that inspired his current project. Having worked on several productions together, the director and actor look back on years of cinematic references they've used, creating a list of movies that would excite any cinephile and show the importance of knowing your film history.

Next, in this video from FilmCourage, writer, author, and director Alan Watt talks about what he changed about his writing process that helped make him a 'success'. While many writers and gurus debate creativity vs. structure, Watt discusses the importance of both... but neither of them is what got him the career he was fighting for. To find success, Watt had to stop thinking about what would 'sell' and start thinking about writing the thing he'd be scared to show anyone.
