Go Into The Story Interview: Lindsay Michel

My interview with 2022 Black List writer for her script Caravan.

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

Part 1: “When I’m coming up with ideas, I’m always thinking what movie would I like to watch.”

Part 2: “You want to know what hurts your character, and that tells you what you have to put them through in order to force them to grow.”

Part 3: “You take your protagonist and break them down into pieces, and then all the other characters should be reflections of one of these pieces.”

Part 4: “I like plots that start from point A and go to point B. It’s just all one direction, it’s very satisfying to me.”

Part 5: “My favorite thing about writing genre films is that they fit together really neatly, like puzzles, if you’re plotting them correctly.”

Part 6: “Reading scripts, you see how everything looks on the page, the different ways that words are communicated into visuals.”

Lindsay is repped by Bellevue Productions.
