I have this funny thing where I drive to another city, sometimes even a small town, and look for their coffee shops to sit and write. Sometimes being in a strange and unknown place gets my creativity flowing. The furthest away I've ever driven just to write was a little over an hour away in San Antonio.
Share me what your story was made into film I want to atch
I used to drive around San Antonio to explore the coffee shops in the area as well!
This guy just said "I feel like a faker as a writer"....
Me as an aspiring screenwriter: *feels immediate relief
If the guy who has gotten Screenplay Oscar nominations for half of his filmography (all of which he should've won for but that's besides the point here) says he "feels like a faker as a writer," you know you'll be perfectly fine
Fake it until you make it..or not...but we'll still be writting even if it s just for us
the best part about his films is that they are totally human. Totally shows you the multi faceted lives and the emotions that people go through. His films feel like they are about real people that's why they are so good. His latest film Licorice Pizza looks like an amazing coming of age story. There's nothing like a good story of young love in 1973 in the San Fernando Valley, sounds like a fantastic novel.
Profound to hear a legend like PTA say this
Big fan of PT. So is my filmmaker/screenwriter son. One of the great American directors/writers along with the Coen bros.and David Cronenberg. I especially love "The Master" with the late great PS Hoffman.
Cronenberg is Canadian but the point still stands
@@BKeane00 oops sorry;)))
The Master , TWBB and Phantom Thread - My Top 3 PTA films in order
@@YomsterFUT13 thanks for the recommendations!
@@AlyxCoe to me he is the best filmmaker rn - my faves (basic Ik) but he’s first with, Tarantino and then a tier below in terms of my love for them has to be Scorsese, Wes Anderson, Fincher and Nolan
No matter what your field, grunt work will always takes up the majority of your time.
Need to constantly remind myself of this in terms of understanding it’s always difficult and need to PUSH through it.
Yep i also need a desk and a routine. Morning person indeed.
Start posting the source of the full video in the description
This is how I write now. This is how a functioning adult writes. Unfortunately. I haven't always been a functioning adult, but now its wake up, pen and paper, no computer, write.
link to the interview?
I usually write in the morning to afternoon. I watch TV and read at night to rest.
Which podcast is this? Link please
I never realized how much this guy speaks like DFW.
His inflection is very similar to DFW for sure
Who's DFW?
@@aniruddhagowda8072 A novelist named David Foster Wallace
He did take a class of his.
I feel less like a loser after hearing this. 😊
Stephen King says he goes in his writing cabin for 8 hours and bleeds and my method couldn't be any more OPPOSITE... I can sit 2 hours and write nothing, not sitting there bored but actually straining my brain for the words... then other days I write the most brilliant flowing 2 pages with an idea so wildly fukin unique in like 30 mins...
The thumbnail makes him look like an older version of Elijah Wood's creepy character from Sin City haha
UPLOAD MORE!!
0:20-ish Tchaikovsky would do that...he said he "couldn't understand" composers who didn't do it like that, who didn't keep regular hours, etc...he said that "the muse never let me down", lol, or something, said something about it not "helping lazy spirits" or something, I forgot what he said, which is what he might have been implying those who didn't have regular hours were, lol...I think Stravinsky also operated like that, holding regular hours, "like a banker", lol, the passage somewhere said...I suspect everyone has their own way of doing things, etc...
1:12 I had no idea he was going to say that, lol, when I wrote that comment...
Link to the whole thing ?
True that, G doggies.
What's this audio from? Would love to see the full interview
What do you mean by "current", is it a new podcast?
I was expecting something about his next film and how he wrote it. But no, actually I already listen the same exact audio before a time ago. But I'm pretty sure that he still do it in this way. Like a routine.
What is the source of this clip?
The film geeks fave, even above Tarantino. There Will Be Blood is a fucking modern masterpiece.
wheres this from brah
The interviewee’s voice sounds like DP30 to me
To me he sounded like Andy Signore, who does sound a bit like David Poland.
i feel like he hasnt made a good film since the master which is a bit sad. ;(
Inherent Vice and Phantom Thread are awesome
@@coleperschino5956 yawnnnnnnnnnn ...meandering ....... booooooooorring
@@devinmichaelroberts9954 I liked Inherent Vice but yeah Phantom Thread is hell
@@ellemiller7237 I love phantom thread. The tone and pacing, cinematography, wardrobe etc is wonderful. Not exciting by any means but I love to put it on and just catch the vibe. Very subtle film. Inherent vice is my least favorite of his, I struggle with the muffled slurred dialogue. The master is genius level tho 😭
@@JACOBJMCNAUGHTON I agree on the master, but I couldn't stand phantom thread. I just hated the characters
Where is this recording from?
