Go Into The Story Interview: Tim Ware-Hill

My interview with the 2022 Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting winner.

Tim Ware-Hill wrote the original screenplay “Tyrone and The Looking Glass” which won a 2022 Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting. I had the opportunity to chat with Tim about his creative background, his award-winning script, the craft of screenwriting, and what winning the Nicholl Award has meant to him.

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

Part 1: “I was with the likes of him, Larry Gelbart, who wrote M*A*S*H. I was in the room with him every day.”

Part 2: “No, show it. Show it, show it, show it. Don’t tell me. I don’t need exposition all the time.”

Part 3: “I wanted to tell stories that would allow little Black kids to see themselves in imaginative worlds.”

Part 4: “I wanted to write this fearless little Black girl who wasn’t afraid of anything.”

Part 5: “It’s the interior journey. Everything else informs or affects what’s going on inside.”

Part 6: “You have to go beyond what’s on the page in developing character. You’ve got to know who they are, really know who they are.”

Tim is repped by The Gotham Group.
