Bob Saenz, a prolific screenwriter and the author of That’s Not The Way It Works: A No-nonsense Guide to the Craft and Business of Screenwriting, swings by the podcast and talks about the defining moments of his 30 years of experience. We chat it up on:
1) What Is A Calling Card Script, And Why Is It Necessary?
2) Why Screenwriters Shouldn’t Get Attached to Assignment Jobs?
3) Why A Screenwriter Should Never Give A Fee Upfront?
Bob mentors many screenwriters, does a Q&A on Sundays in a screenwriting FB group and is open to learning from others as much as he teaches. The moment every screenwriter understands their leverage, they’ll be able to make a living, and according to Bob Saenz, it won’t be about the awards as much as it is about longevity and the number of people who love watching your films.
