My POV
Brian A. Wilson
AT RANDOM
I'm helping out on a production in San Diego, so my column is stumpy this week. Still useful, I trust, but stumpy.
Make this a "do something I keep saying I'll do but never have quite done it yet" week.
Suggestions:
Order a script of your favorite film. When it comes, read it. Twice.
Go to the bookstore. Look at "Muscle and Fitness" and "Oprah." Take a headline from each cover. Combine them into two pitches, one for a comedy, one for a drama.
Read one of the books I've reviewed in this column, instead of just thinking, "Yeah, that sounds good."
If you're in LA, visit the Margaret Herrick library.
Read something you'd never be caught dead reading.
Read your script aloud.
Storyboard your script. Disregard your art skills. Just sketch.
Gotta run!
Keep writing
