Reading is not an automatic fun activity for a writer, in particular it can be difficult to read your own work with objectivity. Imaging then evaluating other peoples work! With my Associate Producer hat on I'm taking part in the selection process to appoint a writer for the next draft of my feature The Bloodline. It was easy with the first writer as we had a film to judge... however my Producer liked it and I hated it! The next two writers we are judging by reading their scripts. If there is a magic way of identifying a great script I'd like to know it, and so I suspect would Working Title! It's easy to identify bad writing but good to great is harder and I don't envy all those readers for the BBC or Film 4 trying to shortlist worthy submissions for a deeper evaluation. But the work must go on!
Be Part Of The Miracle!!
