Go Into The Story Interview: Gillian Weeks

My interview with 2022 Black List writer for her script OH THE HUMANITY.

Here are links to the entire 6-part series which has run this week.

Part 1: “In college I began to imagine myself as a journalist… I didn’t consider screenwriting as a career.”

Part 2: “I take on topics that have a potential to be heavy or complex, but I always think about what is the most entertaining way to tell it.”

Part 3: “He chooses to follow those orders and she decides she’s going to do the right thing, which is to find the truth.”

Part 4: “To me, a lot of those so-called rules are fairly intuitive, how do I want my audience to feel at various moments along the way.”

Part 5: “I wrote it incredibly quickly because I knew exactly what I wanted to happen in every scene and how it would feel, and the tone of it.”

Part 6: “There is something magical about a film based on a true story. They help us process events we experienced from afar, and also our our lives.”

Gillian is repped by The Gersh Agency and Entertainment 360.
