Re: [Fred eh] Script Writing Wolves

Hi Fred -- sounds like a fun project you're engaged in.
I'm a script writer. I have three behind me, all un-produced. But I wrote 'em, and I'm proud of that! I have another in the hopper right now. I think I'm writing just to be writing -- but the practice is good for the craft. One of these days....POW!
I've been told by some pros that my job as a screen writer is to write. I've been told that directors, DPs, audio engineers, and others who weave magic for the silver screen take a dim view of a writer calling shots and giving actors direction.
As I pondered that advice it occured to me that I, probably, would feel the same way if I were a director trying to pull a performance from an actor. Maybe the writer could give some insight on the set, but pushing direction or camera angles in the script sort of imposes on other artists.
Writers write. I love it all and want to do it all. So I have two scripts of each story. One for me with all the fancy shots and direction...one for the director, where he can make up his own mind what he wants Tom Cruise to do.
Any help? Bests,
VQ
