Study Everything
Real problems from fake people.
Dear Earl,
I read your post about how screenwriters should become directors to protect their work. Isn’t that a bit much to ask somebody? It’s hard enough to learn one job.
In that specific case, I was referring to the screenwriter’s weakened position in the moviemaking system.
Directors have more power. Ergo, if screenwriters want the power to protect their stories, they should seek a position of power. I’m not saying every artist needs to study every field.
Oh, thank goodness.
But now that you mention it, it’s not a bad idea.
