Screenwriting 101: Elijah Bynum

“I always write a little bio on them before I write the script. Their back story, their personality, some of their character traits. I know what food they like, what kind of cigarettes they smoke — but there’s a difference between characteristics and character. It’s not until you really throw yourself into the story and throw your character into the story that you can genuinely understand who they are.”
