Coffee & Content - Ridley Scott on Directing & 10 Important Lessons on the Craft of Screenwriting

Hello, my fellow creatives.  Happy Sunday. Hope you are all enjoying and participating in what has been a very lively Introduce Yourself Weekend! Today for Coffee & Content, I'm bringing you some voices with years of experience talking directing and screenwriting. First up, legendary director, Ridley Scott waxes poetic on the craft of directing.  As usual, no pulled punches from Sir Ridley.  Nothing more for you to do with this one than pour yourself a full cuppa and kick back. Next, from our friends at Film Courage, a compilation piece featuring some screenwriters with some road beneath and behind 'em.  This one is called 10 Important Lessons on the Craft of Screenwriting.  Grab something to write on for this one - many takeaways to be had. As always, I ask you first and foremost to share.  Pay it forward.  It feels good.  And you can do so by hitting those cool share buttons in the upper right side of this page or by simply emailing the link to those you feel might benefit from the content. And, as you know, you're on a social media and networking platform!  And the easiest way to stand out is by being visible and expressing an opinion!  You can do both by leaving your thoughts in the comments section below. Enjoy the content and the coffee! Cheers! RB     Ridley Scott on Directing 10 Important Lessons on the Craft of Screenwriting   Like this blog post?

Happy Sunday to all.  Hope you are all enjoying and taking advantage of Introduce Yourself Weekend! Back with another 2 videos designed to entertain and educate. First up, New York Acting Coach John Windsor-Cunningham with an acting lesson he says saved his own career.  The vid is titled The Best Acting Lesson in the World (I don't name 'em folks) and I'll be very interested to get your feedback. Next up, a TEDx talk from Zach King:  The storyteller in all of us.  Zach built a huge online presence through his storytelling efforts.  Plus, he's one hell of a likeable guy.  Think this one will get you thinking.
