Corporations are like countries now, there's a king, there are serfs, there's a court, basically everything but moats. They're feudal societies, and there are good ones and bad ones.
When I start something, I know people I am working with, it's a project they're interested in.
The screenwriters I know share a few personality traits and one of them is anxiety.
The main thing for me is I really like strong endings. If there's a strong ending, you can take more time in the beginning, your first act can be really quite different.
I'm trained to button scenes and round things off, and I get rewarded for doing that.
