Call from LA friends who will be passing through on their way to BC. We'll see them tonight, have dinner -- a great surprise! Love these folks, whom I've known for almost 50 years.
My most frequent closing comment on student scripts: good storytelling, poor screenwriting. Students are shooting themselves in the foot, the pandemic among screenwriting beginners. Their over-writing gets in the way of their stories. Easily fixed, however, once you really understand the form. I'm encouraged by all the good storytelling I see, engaging characters, suspenseful action. Once they stop being their own worst enemy, they'll have a script worth reading.
