Screenwriting 101: Spike Lee

“Write. For screenwriters and directors, you have to write. If you did a survey of the last 25 years and looked at the first films of directors, I’d say a large percentage of those films the directors wrote that script. That’s a big clue when talking about film. If you want to be a director, you have to write also.”
