Learning How to Make a Movie

I read an interview some years ago in which James Cameron advised creatives to do this: “Make stuff.” Per Cameron, actually making movies is the single best way to learn, really learn the entire process of cinematic storytelling.

Screenwriter Ian Fowler did just that and wrote a reflection on his experiences making his movie Crazy Right.

Part 3

Ian Fowler has been writing scripts professionally for 8 years and began making short films 6 years ago. He’s written everything from science fiction to comedy for producers from LA to Toronto, original works based on producer’s ideas to books and even a life story. The best thing about writing so far has been getting paid even though none of the films have been made to date (especially the 100 million dollar sci fi script — hehe) In 2016 he set off to make his first feature film Crazy Right.
