As an aspiring screenwriter, I want to say Thank you for this interview

Love watching this, hope to watch the whole series :) Thanks for the inspiration!

So I guess they're done with these now? On to other things...

Personally, i'm 100% open to free work as described here and if/come deals.

Thanks guys, I’ve enjoyed it. I’ve dabbled with screenwriting for years but looking to focus properly on it now during a break from my “regular” profession. Great to watch.

Yes, now that you can't work, why are you not back here streaming? I miss watching you daily. Please come back.

Ben and Jake, please come back. I miss watching you.

Mark Twain said: those who don't read newspapers are uninformed, those who read the newspapers are misinformed.

Please make more episodes. Please please please!!! I want to know what happens with Lilith, Sam, and Hank.

Your enemy can see through your eyes. Now, that's a movie I want to see.

Hollywood is high school with money. I love it.

How can you forget Larry?! Lol

I think in real life morning and afternoon feel different. But on the screen it's very difficult to tell.

That's offensive. There is nothing good in your life that has not been given to you by God. What is cold and distant about that?!

Hollywood is run by fear. So true. And so sad 😢

I've taken Corey Mandell's writing course. He separates a bunch of skillsets, that I never would have realized were different skillsets. And then you can work to perfect each skill separately. I believe every writer can benefit immensely from his course.

I love this topic. Honing isolated skills.

I have a great idea for Lilith that I wish I can share

This is very informative. Now I have more clarity about the difference between managers, agents, and lawyers. Thank you

I love the intro

I think there's always a way to get out context in an organic way. Sometimes you need to work harder to figure it out. But I believe there's always a way to work around exposition.

Midnight Run is funny

I'm curious how your partnership came about. What made you decide to become writers? And what made you decide to work together? Can you make an episode about that?

Some people express the opinion that the WGA is not really out for the writers' benefits. They're out for themselves. They're not helping writers as much as controling writers. What's your opinion about that? I heard someone say it's crazy to be forced not to be able to work.

I wonder how long this strike will last

I also put too many 'just's in my dialogue

If there is a hell, they're all on ticktock. Lol

This channel is helping me so much! Thank you!

It's like stone soup, a little

Writing is an art and teaching is an art. Some writers can't teach. And some teachers can't write.

Watch movies, read screenplays, write pages and watch Ben & Jake Write a Movie 😊

Where's episode 34? I can't find it

The term I learned is 'motivated context'. Any context should feel like the character was motivated to say it. You don't want the charcter revealing things without proper motivation.

I think Elon Musk is doing a fine job with Twitter

I love it when there's only one point of view

Did you ever think of producing your own movies?

Liked, subscribed, and hit the bell

This is a great channel

What's the definition of high concept?

If you keep streaming videos it will continue to grow.

You DO realize that by giving your story out -- in detail -- that an AI app is currently finishing the script -- and will have it done and sold before you do. Sorry, but that's the current reality...

Thank you

A.I. is a tool. It can help in the writing process but that decision is to be made by a screenwriter. It can be an aid or it can hinder, depending on who's using it and how. To say otherwise, it's about corporations wanting even more control and about their insurmountable greed (nothing will ever be good enough, they will always want more). Human stories about the human condition only make sense if those stories are told by humans. And that won't ever change. Whatever comes out of this new "reality" that's forming...what is old and continues to happen is wanting for artists to be devalued and being paid less then what we deserve. I'm glad people are pushing back on the bullshit they are being fed.

So the thumbnail makes Ben look high and Jake just looks mentally disabled. 😂 But for real the industry will use the strike as the excuse to cancel projects and cut down on bloat. Debt is expensive from unprecedented rise in interest rates so now profitability trumps everything else.

Where's episode 22 and 23?

Currently trying to find a dedicated writing space. Some great points and advice here. Thanks guys!

Um actually -- Dark Phoenix not Phoenix. Phoenix is not evil. :P Love the show guys!
