Screenwriting 101: Lori Evans Taylor

“I love going to the movies. But having two kids, I don’t get to the movies much. If I’m going to go see a movie in a theater it has to pass the babysitter test… ‘Is this movie worth not only the price of admission, but worth the price of three hours of babysitting?’ So, whenever I start to write, I think about, ‘Would I go see this? Does it pass my babysitter test?’ If not, I’m not going to write the movie.”
