Go Into The Story Interview: Kryzz Gautier

My interview with 2021 Black List writer for her script “Wheels Come Off.”

Kryzz Gautier wrote the screenplay “Wheels Come Off” which made the 2021 Black List. I had the opportunity to chat with Kryzz about her creative background, her script, the craft of screenwriting, and what making the annual Black List has meant to her.

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

Part 1: “When I was born in the Dominican Republic in ’89, there was no such thing as an entertainment industry on the island.”

Part 2: “I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that characters in the story are based on me, my mom, or my father.”

Part 3: “This script is my life story, except it’s set in a different universe.”

Part 4: “The script had to revolve around what sixteen-year-old me would do in the off time between when chaotic things happen in the apocalypse.”

Part 5: “Then I saw the ticker go by the screen, and I said, ‘Holy shit! I’m on The Black List!’ out loud.”

Part 6: “You have to understand what makes a lousy screenplay in order to write a good screenplay.”

Kryzz is repped by CAA and Rain Management.
