I watched Tales from the Script based on a recommendation (thank you Bill). Along with Dreams on Spec, it gives such an awesome insight into this world. I had no idea screenwriters were considered to be so low on the totem pole. It doesn't really make sense, seeing as though a movie wouldn't be a movie without a script or at least a treatment.
As they all talk about how insanely difficult it is, I've become more inspired and motivated. Even when Billy Ray said (I love this), "If you can survive as people are kicking you in the head, eventually their leg will get tired... If you're still there and can pull yourself up to your feet, you get the last laugh."
All of the insights and advice given were incredibly helpful.
Like the suggestion of taking an acting class or study acting to 'learn the language' and make it more actor-friendly. I would not have thought of that on my own. It makes sense.
And what Bruce Joel Rubin said at the end, about the impact My Life made on one woman completely choked me up. He seems like an awesome guy.
Actually, all these guys seem like people I would prefer to hang out with over most people.
I've also been watching Syd Fields Screenwriting Workshop series. It's been pretty helpful with basic format. I don't know much about him, though (I'm trying to stay away from too much research).
