Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that you are selling out. That is just personally how I would feel - that's my mental issue. At the end of the day, you are doing what you love and that's better than working some shitty 9 to 5 job in a cubicle. I am not saying that every movie has to be The...

Regarding the actor - was there even a discussion about her giving you notes or was it simply a demand that she would be writing it? Are we talking a star here? You don't have to name name's, but if it's a lower budgeted film - I assume you could have replaced her with any similar level actor...

Because it has been 10 years and I am 46 years old. I would like to make this movie before I turn 50 or die - whichever comes first. :D The bottom line is that we won't go with him if his ideas are completely fucked, but because I do respect him as a director, it would be nice if he was willing...

As I stated before, I all for working with a director and making the script the best that it can be - this is the way it always has been, but the difference is that past directors would provide their notes and we would implement some of those notes - it was a collaborative process. In this...

Greetings, I was just curious if anyone here has had a similar story or experience - especially writers. I am actually a producer on a film that my partner wrote and this script has been in demand for over 10 years with various production companies, directors, actors and various other...
