Be vulnerable with your own emotions, dig deep, explore your fears and put your specific truth out there. People are drawn to truth like magnets. 3:58 - TIP 02 - Write your own TRUTH that you haven’t seen represented in a movie before. 5:24 - TIP 03 - Like in jujitsu - if you can predict what and where an audience is going to go, or what they think you’re going to do, you can use that momentum against them. 7:20 - TIP 04 - The best advice for writer’s block: Follow the fun. If you aren't having fun, you are doing it wrong. Allow writing to be your hobby. 9:57 - TIP 05 - When producers interfere with your work don't “pop-off”. Every critique has something of value. Listen patiently and then think of creative ways to solve the issue. 12:21 - TIP 06 - A good story can be transformative and do the most for social change. So use your intelligence and make audiences think when crafting your stories. 13:40 - TIP 07 - Writing a screenplay is a combination of gut inspiration and a strategy to focus on things that work which don’t require a huge budget. 15:20 - TIP 08 - When writing comedy or horror know that both present the truth. With both forms technique is tension building and release. 15:51 - TIP 09 - Use writing projects to dug you out of your own fear and darkness. And use that fear to learn how scare the audience with your work. 17:21 - TIP 10 - Take big risks and put your love into it. It can take a long time, but in the end it does pay off.
