Beyond The Script : Career Strategy For TV and Film Writers
Should Entertainment News Guide Your Decisions?
Human nature suggests that when the sky seems to be falling we turn to the media to confirm our fears. As writing jobs and our industry as a whole contracts writers find themselves turning to the trades to allay fears or just to "find out more." The good wisdom has always seemed to say that "reading the trades" was a must for any writer worth their salt.
But how much trade news - on premieres, and overall deals, and mergers, and agents leaving companies - is too much news?
In this episode, Nick and Steve dig into whether a daily reading of the trades can empower you or inhibit you. Isn't it just good business sense to know the landscape of your industry? Or are you harming your inner artist by keeping too much of an informed eye on the proverbial prize?
As always, Nick and Steve will offer two different perspectives on the "glued to the news" question to help you move your projects forward in the screenwriting market.
Whether you aspire to be a daily Deadline.com reader, or don't care to know the difference between the Warners and The MGM's, the Beyond The Script team will bring fresh ideas to your career and process.
