Film industry resources

film industry careers are (mostly) normal.

But it can be hard to find reliable, contemporary information about it. Anything I share here comes A) straight from my personal experience working for over a decade in the entertainment industry, B) from other professionals I personally know to be experts in their area of film, or C) from an authoritative source that I’ve personally reviewed.

If anything I lead you to seems to be incorrect, please DM me on Instagram with the issue, or @ me on Twitter, Instagram or TikTok.

screenwriting resources

SCREENWRITING 101
by Angus Fletcher
(Free with an Audible trial)
- Covers ground no other screenwriting resource I’ve come across does, connecting the Greek stage to the modern screenplay. Destroys conventional wisdom about structure and dives deep into what makes some of the greatest films of all time tick.

“HOW TO WRITE A MOVIE”
by Craig Mazin
- A one-hour dive into the theory of features from the creator of HBO’S CHERNOBYL. Highly recommended.
