From Variety: Saturday's writers panel at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, moderated by Variety's Anne Thompson, offered no shortage of writerly quips, anecdotes and career advice.
The panel, "It Starts With the Script," is a longtime festival favorite. This year's edition featured the scribes of a Western (Robert Knott, "Appaloosa"), an animated fable (Andrew Stanton, "Wall-E"), a political biopic (Dustin Lance Black, "Milk") and an intimate drama (Tom McCarthy, "The Visitor").
