Screenwriting 101: Melissa Iqbal

“I think it’s so important to write in the language of cinema. It should always evoke the experience of watching a film. And I love writing that way, I love considering how it might be edited, how it might look and feel and sound. All these things are at your disposal and I think you’ll probably need them if you’re going to succeed at making the audience feel something.”

— Melissa Iqbal (2014 Nicholl Fellow)
