Screenwriting 101: Liz W. Garcia

“Do not put all your eggs in one basket. A lot of people do this where they’ve got that one script. They keep rewriting it, and they keep rewriting it or they’ve got the one movie that they’re going to get made, they’re going to get made, they’re going to get made. Don’t stop putting new work out there. You might love and treasure that one script, but you cannot control when that one script is going to get made or when it’s going to get you an agent or when it’s going to get you a job. You have to keep working on your craft and keep writing and keep writing and keep writing new stuff.”
