Coffee & Content - True Detective: Developing Characters

For this edition of Coffee & Content, I've chosen one of the best videos I've seen lately on writing and developing compelling characters. The main focus of the piece is on the first season of True Detective written by Nic Pizzolatto. But the video also covers some weak examples from other films and television shows and offers some sage advice from Aaron Sorkin, John Truby and others. So whether yo…
The Joy Of Collaborating and Critiques
Sometimes, someone comes along who suddenly propels you into an inspirational state that you never felt before. I am working with someone at the moment, Shibu Thomas, who has written a screenplay and he asked me if I would become script consultant and editor. I read the script and edited it for him, but the story was so intriguing and so clever, I was happy to continue to help him work on it. Since then, he has made pitches to producers and received great feedback, he has had very goo…

Fear: Friend or Foe?
When I was first approached to write a blog, an emotion I know all too well hit me - fear. After many hours of trying to figure out what am I going to write about and reflecting on my journey into this crazy business, I realized I can't be alone. No matter how successful or how green we are, fear comes knocking on everyone's door, even if no one talks about it. Regardless of what we do, the thought of putting our work out there for all to see, for all to judge, can be frankly....terrifyi…

Coffee & Content - David Fincher: Invisible Details
Happy Sunday, everyone. Hope you are all having a relaxing and creative weekend. Today I wanted to share a video showcasing filmmaker David Fincher. It's no secret that Fincher uses CGI as a major tool in his creative arsenal. But unlike most, Fincher uses the technique to enhance the storytelling, and does so with a quiet, but meticulous finesse. So sit back and prepare to be amazed.
