After attending Steve Kaplan’s RomCom seminar in Sydney earlier this year, I became an instant fan.
It’s my intention to interview him some time over the next few weeks and I thought the following video would be a nice warming-up exercise for this.
The video was recorded during a radio interview for ABC at the start of his Australia trip this year. If you’re interested in more after watching the video, be sure to check out the article Steve wrote on The Hidden Tools Of Comedy.
A few weeks ago we ran a video announcing Joss Whedon’s talk at the Sydney Opera House.
It became a very special event with numerous precious moments for all present, both for fans and professionals.
This week’s clip is audio only but I believe it is well worth listening to, particularly for those interested in the work of Joss Whedon.
One of the professionals in the theatre in Sydney that Sunday afternoon was Mike Jones, who generously shares this audio clip with us. (BTW: Check this Friday’s guest contribution from Mike if you’re into short film)
In the clip Whedon explains to the audience how only recently he asked himself where his stories and characters come from. He calls it ‘the dark place’.
Karel Segers wrote his first produced screenplay at age 17. Today he is a story analyst with experience in acquisition, development and production. He has trained students worldwide, and worked with half a dozen Academy Award nominees. Karel speaks more European languages than he has fingers on his left hand, which he is still trying to find a use for in his hometown of Sydney, Australia. The languages, not the fingers.
For all those dreaming of becoming a screenwriter, today we have a video that gives you a really good insight in the glamour of the job. Have a close look at what the life of a screenwriter looks like. You might get inspired!
