Q&A: Screenwriter Tom Benedek (“Cocoon”)
Tom Benedek has been a screenwriter in Hollywood for over three decades. He has written upward to 50 projects including the 1985 #1 hit movie Cocoon. Tom has worked with some of the most renowned filmmakers in Hollywood including Robert Zemeckis, Lawerence Kasdan, Ron Howard, Martin Scorsese, Sydney Pollack, and Richard Donner, and may know more about the business than anyone I know. He is also a friend, colleague and co-founder of Screenwriting Master Class.
