Screenwriting 101: Mark Duplass

“Every question I hear when I speak at colleges or film festivals is, ‘How can I get my script in the hands of someone who is gonna help me get it made? How do I get an agent?’ The answer to those questions is, figure out how to make a great movie without anybody’s help. Do it on your own, in your local community, with the resources you have at hand. There are no good movies out there, so when you make a good one, someone’s going to find it.”
