this old bitch

I have so much respect for Aline Brosh McKenna. Love to hear her talk about making tv!

I absolutely love sound design.

The authenticity of the freshness can really read on screen.

Hmmmmm.

Excellent and practical suggestions.

Having been involved in both, I would say this seems harder than adapting a novel.

And rehearse using it!

Yes, yes, yes.

Interesting.

I will never forget watching Under the Skin with an audience in Chicago. Pin-drop quite, glued to our chairs. It was magical. There’s a psychic connection when watching with other people that doesn’t happen at home on a small screen, and it’s worth it from time to time to go and be blown away.

Great quotes!

I love this book and I’m curious how it will turn out as a movie. The thing I liked so much about it as a book was the omniscient point of view. That will be tough to capture.

Love this show so much.

There are some solid suggestions here, but also some tips I would be wary of. It’s risky to say a line FOR your talent, hoping they will give you the performance you want. I think it works better to ask them to try it a few different ways and then guide them to the one that best matches your expectations.

I enjoyed this frank expose.

The skills for a documentary are similar but also different in many ways to narrative filmmaking.
