Episodes
Setting As An Ancillary Character
9m · PublishedA more in-depth look at what I discussed back in Episode 2 about setting. Setting, in my opinion, can be just as important in your script or story as your main characters and other elements of story. In this episode, I explain why by using some classic examples from film and television as well as one of my own scripts ("Lapse") that won Best Screenplay in the 2018 LA Crime & Horror Festival.
This is the last episode of 2019. I look forward to recording more episodes and some new additional things in 2020!
Adaptation
14m · PublishedOn this episode, I talk about how screenwriters adapt screenplays that are derived from other works such as novels, short stories, short films, news articles, and more. I talk about the decision-making process that goes into what to include, take out, and add when it comes to writing an adaptation. I also talk about two examples of feature films that were adapted very well from a novel and short film, respectively, along with two amazing novels whose adaptation were (in my opinion) a failure.
There are lots of great films that were adapted from other sources that I didn't get to mention in my episode, but please check them out.
"Awakenings" (1990)
"Forrest Gump" and "Shawshank Redemption" (1994)
"Doubt" (2008)
"Frost/Nixon" (2008)
"Slumdog Millionaire" (2008)
Writer's Block
15m · PublishedI talk about dealing with Writer's Block and include my own suggestions and strategies as well as the suggestions from the winner of the 2019 Publishing Commentator of the Year, Jane Friedman. I also for the first time reference what I've said in previous episodes, so if you're new to the podcast, please refer back so that you have context.

Finding Your "Voice" as a Writer

Creating Memorable Characters
12m · PublishedIn this episode, I talk about the differences between a main character and a stock character. I also guide you into how to create a memorable character for your own script and use one of my own characters that I've created as an example.
A Special Shoutout
10m · PublishedWinning Best Screenplay & The Importance of Setting

The Three Roberts
