I've read Dan's TV pilot book and then took a Sundance course where we all spoke about how useful his TV Story Map book was/is. Then I took up some one-on-one coaching, Dan is a blessing. If you can, take his course and his coaching. Worth every cent.

You know when someone is confident in what they're saying by the steady and direct look. His also very concise with his answers and choosing of words, and no pet-words/tags, so it's easy to follow along.
So, if story is everything, how do SO MANY AWFUL scripts get made? Most of what Hollywood produces now is formulaic, regurgitated, and unwatchable. Who "recommends" those to the studios and why?
What studios buy versus how it gets rewritten versus scripts that are hired to be written, versus all the other influences on the end result, is much of your answer.
No one knows what the movie will look like, executives know what has worked not what will work. It's regurgitation because when something works you do it again. Again and again and again. I loved Nope, but it was Jaws disguised as close encounters.
The great thing about Film Courage is, it's actually about Filmmaking, and Film Production....not client-based Videography, which is what 75% of RUclips channels about 'Filmmaking' are actually about....that said, the latter can lead to Commercial Directing...but no one ever seems to even make that correlation. Anyway, thank you, Film Courage for keeping the traditional route relevant on YT.
It's very satisfying to hear a true Hollywood insider acknowledge that the story of Passengers was bungled. It had a lot of potential, but had been rewritten so much that the draw was lost.
Turn of action. Is this the same As Ed Edsons, surprise number 1? Interesting that you also ckaim the triggering incident is not the same as the fiest surprise/ turning point.
Theft is the next best form of flattery. My friends X, print not produce, sent in a story to playboy who rewrote the concept. They changed it to, or was that from, a French Chateau in the Apilatiins, or the Laurentians. Changed the characters as well. A legal steal.
Adventures in babysitting is a case in point. Assuming act one is standard length, nearly all of A 1 is one huge set up for act 3. The triggering incident must be 90/% into the story. The turning point follows right on its heels. The blow out on the freeway. Screen coaches should be like scientists, as part of the methodology, go out of their way to disprove their hypothesis till it's verified by experimentation. The equivelent here is, show me the goods. Can you find a film with a contrare take.And why, if it's at least commercially successfully and perhaps artistically too, how it made the cut. And, finally, is it the exception to the rule?
Oh GAAAWWWWDDD!! The superhero bashing; I’m so sick of it from the hoity-toity, “look at me, I’m so sophisticated”, gatekeepers. “i’Ve sEeN wOlVeRiNe sLaShInG pEoPlE fOr fIvE mOvIeS aLrEaDy.” Listen… I’m no “superhero movie defender”, plenty of them have their problems; but this has got to be the dumbest critique of a movie that I’ve ever heard: Honest question: Who goes to see a COMIC BOOK movie about a guy name WOLVERINE and doesn’t expect THE PROMISE OF THE PREMISE to be about a guy SLASHING PEOPLE with his CLAWS?!” The nerve. I’ve already seen Superman flying in three movies already. I’ve already seen ‘The Man with No Name’ shooting people in two westerns already. Another Harry Potter movie about the kid doing magic?! 🙄 Newsflash… 15-17 year olds aren’t the majority of the people reading comics. Sounds like you’re just in the wrong movies, bud… why don’t you go watch another Martin Scorsese film…

Informative video. I just got hired as a reader for a production company. Thanks for this. It's insightful. This is my favorite channel.
Congrats on the new job Boomer!
Congratulations!
Are you still working there?
As a reader or have you move on to other things?
What advice would you give regarding the reader job?

Another very nice interview. Thanks a lot to the Daniel and Film Courage for sharing it with us.
I started out reading scripts and books also for a film production company. Also went to NYU Tisch, but in the MFA program.
This was a great and informative video! Thanks Film Courage!!
Love this! I am getting Daniel Calvisi's book. Thanks DC and THANK YOU as always Film Courage!

This writer has said it at the beginning: “Getting to know some people I there.” Unfortunately, simple it may sound....it takes many to places.....
No one knows what the movie will look like, executives know what has worked not what will work. It's regurgitation because when something works you do it again. Again and again and again.

Cheers Matt! Glad you are finding value here!
Thank you for procuring this advice!!

Excited, I just ordered your book. Do you have any advice about writing graphic novels and what formula would you use? Thanks!
good job from the Interviewer ...great Questions
If it's this tough to get something covered, optioned and actually made. Then why is there still so much crap being made into movies?
Love this. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
This was really helpful.
Good stuff. Keep it coming
Karen really asked those tough questions we ask ourselves at night.
thankyou !

I want to go to Tisch for screenwriting
This guy said “the movie boomed” but didn’t even see the movie or the numbers. Budget $110-150 million and $303.1 million box office
24:33 Passengers totally bombed? That movie was awesome! The hell is wrong with this guy?
What happened to the “Bill Duke Tells Us What Color Underwear He Wears” videos???
Adam Greenberg told me they would steal my materials and I didn’t listen.

@@chriswest8389Dag, that's low.
I wonder if the developers of chatbots who review conversations may steal ideas brainstormed with their AI.
Yeah, 'Fantastic Beasts' was great until they got to the fighting part. Snooze.
If the inciting incident is on page 8, than the movie is going to suck. There's no time for me to know who the character is.

They copied my book for Homeland after they read it. The whole thing is based on my life. Luckily Homeland sucks compared to the real story.
That would really piss me off.
