Screenwriting 101: Tom Benedek

“Every script we write is a piece of ourselves. We may say we are writing a script because we want to position ourselves somewhere in the industry. But we also write because we have a need to express ourselves. It is important to savor the process… I truly believe that screenwriting students can learn to improve their writing skills in areas where they may not initially shine by studying the great scripts and staying mindful of their strengths and growing edges as they write and rewrite.”
