Screenwriting 101: David Hedges

“I think the thing I hate about writing is you have this piece of mashed, bleached wood pulp that you’re going to make these black marks on. Someone is supposed to pick that up, and become involved in these marks you’ve made. It’s insane when you think about it! The idea of trying to connect another human being that way, it’s so difficult. That to me is what every time I start a project, I’m always like, ‘How am I going to translate what I am seeing in my head, and make somebody understand?’”
