It's true, actors seem to genuinely like what I write, even for no pay, they're willing to drive two hours to my house, they email me, want to discuss the character etc. They're real actors too, with drama degrees from places like Julliard, endless workshops, commercial experience. writers on the other hand, generally think my scripts should be kept in the bathroom, not as reading material when you're doing your business, but as a first choice ahead of the toilet paper. And you know how they say your mom always tells you it's good no matter how bad it is? My mom, a writer herself, read my latest script and when I told her I wanted to produce it, she said, "Oh. Maybe you could just film the first half and then put, 'to be continued...' " Thanks mom.
Wondering if anyone else experiences this, perhaps the other way around?
