    *whispers* Underground & Lovecraft Country was a double whammy. I used to be just a warm, heartfelt, normal girl and then…🧟‍♀️🧛🏽🤣 (Also Pitch. It was so good and I don’t even like baseball!!!)

    what tv show cancellation turned you into the cold, heartless, monster you are today

    *whispers* I’m not exactly sure what the heart of development is (my mind blows right past warm fuzzy feelings to bloody organs still beating after being ripped from your chest) but I’ll be exploring it next Wednesday with . 🤣🫀✍🏾 Join me:

    Casting is one of the most important jobs of the director. I write the spell, but the actors have to use their bodies to conjure it. And casting's not difficult. There's droves of talented actors, you just have to be patient enough to wait for the one that makes the right magic.

    Replying to @MishaGreen
    You exhibited perfect casting for the show. When you hit it like this, all of the mechanisms of the story fade to the back, the viewer is engulfed in the narrative. How important is the casting and how difficult is it?

    I'm told I write fast, to which I say, "I typed fast, I've been writing this for a decade in my head." It takes discipline to get it out of your head, but I think we all live the life of a writer. We live our lives by the stories we tell about ourselves & others. Memory is story.

    Replying to @MishaGreen
    A good friend tells me "writing" is not the same as "typing", that writers are always writing even though they're not putting stuff on paper. Any thoughts on the discipline of writing vs living life as a writer?

    We watch movies together that are similar to the vibe we want. We trade images and color schemes back and forth. We talk about the characters and how we can visualize their stories even more then what's on the page.

    How do you work with your director of photography to get your vision on screen.

    Nope. I've been a fan of Tomb Raider since I first played the games back when Playstations were grey. And writing is the house of my best accomplishments. I'm saving all my nerves for directing it! 😊

    Good is subjective. You do the work and you write something the best you can. Then you write something else better. Then you write something else better. Getting lost in the idea is part of the fun.

    Replying to @MishaGreen
    how do you know the story that you're writing is good? And how not get lost in your own ideas while you're writing?

    I describe the over all mood of the montage and describe a couple of key moments. That way we'll make sure to get what's needed to advance the story, but it also leaves space for the direct to expand on the mood with their ideas.

    Replying to @MishaGreen
    I’ve been struggling with incorporating/writing a montage into my script. Do you have a preferred method? Do you describe what’s happening overall or breakdown each frame?

    I don't have a "ready" moment. I let them swim around in my brain. I write down notes. I watch movies that feel like maybe what I'm trying to do. I read books and research. Then I start working on the outline.

    When do you know your “ideas” are ready to be transformed into stories?

    I never say never, but currently have no plans to continue the story. 😊

    We loosely map out the entire season before we write any scripts so we know what we're building to. And I always have a vague idea where/the feeling I want to end the series on...but so far that doesn't seem to matter much in my career. 😂😂😂

    Replying to @MishaGreen
    Hi! Do you have a pre-conception of the end of the story or season at the beginning of it? Or do you let it open?

    Screenwriting ability is subjective. You just need one person to like your script, and if that one person happens to be the head of a studio that can finance it, you're golden. That's what makes being a screenwriter excitingly unpredictable and infuriating at the same time.

    Replying to @MishaGreen
    What do you believe is the best pathway to demonstrate screenwriting ability? Writing various types of projects? One solid feature script... award winning material? Do you believe it's more about the network you build?

    Not sure I fully understand the question. What propels a story? Characters with a goal who take action. What usually propels MY stories? So far the trend has been characters who need to survive and take action by rebelling against oppressive systems.

    What pushes forward your drama and character development in your stories?

    No. But if it's in your heart to do so, then do it. If your aim is to adapt your novel into a screenplay, you should make that a part of selling the rights. If the studio wants the project bad enough, they'll make it happen.

    Replying to @MishaGreen
    Hello Misha! Is it wise to write a treatment for your novel *before* being asked, should incase interest in procuring TV/Film rights look like a strong possibility?

    There's too many to name. Not so much specific filmmakers, but films: The Goonies, Jurassic Park, Alien, the original Night of the Living Dead, the french version of Martyrs, Scream, Titantic, Love and Basketball, Pride and Prejudice (2005), Indecent Proposal, Battle Royale...

    Replying to @MishaGreen
    What are those films/directors that has inspired you along this journey to create your own style of filmmaking? 😊
