A Drive To Produce
The bug for cinema and filmmaking hit me hard in the summer of 1970. On that hot July day I sneaked through the back door of the local theatre and ensconced myself into a rickety folding seat not more than 15 yards from the screen. The purpose of my stealthy activity was two-fold: first, I wanted to escape the oppressive heat outside and the theatre was an iceberg in the midst of a desert; second, and perhaps of greater importance, I could not just but a ticket and walk in as the show on…

What I Learned From My 2nd & 3rd Screenplays
As a screenwriter, you know that the key to any success you will have starts with your writing. Many writers learn more about themselves as they progress from their first couple of scripts. You begin to find out what works for you. What keeps you on track. This is your process. In this 3-minute clip (which is part of his Film Courage interview series), RB discusses his personal growth as a screenwriter. He covers how he found his rhythm and what works to keep him on track when fin…
