Lew Hunter’s Screenwriting 434

"I love Lew, but that shouldn’t be held against him. You know, most people can’t take his class because you have to be a matriculated UCLA student, but you don’t need to take the class! You can read the book! Well, there are two big pieces of advice. Writers write. Don’t wait for inspiration. Everyone who writes is a writer. Think of yourself as a writer. And less is more. We preach this with religious fervour. Economy, efficiency, integration. A screenplay is an elaborate list of sights and sounds whose purpose is moving the story forward."
