Coen Brothers: Where and How to Begin a Film?

Courtesy of r/screenwriting we have a terrific hour-long career-spanning discussion of the Coen Brother’s work, moderated by Noah Baumbauch. Absorb the genius, friendo.

Number 7 times infinity

Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water. 4. Every sentence must do one of two things — reveal character or advance the action. 5....

Fix yourself a drink, turn out the lights and enjoy! If you go into this one tiny, dingy one-story bar in Paris, and the right bartender is behind the counter that night, you might be able to see a very exclusive gallery show of the lost works of one Henri Beauchamp. But, to get in, you have to prove...

Films I would’ve give my right arm to have seen at TFF…

… Movieline reminds me that I should have made more of an effort to get to this, but there are only so many hours in a day.

Must see this movie. Need to watch Sunshine again.
