“Screenwriting & Miracles”

Scott Smith, who hosts an excellent screenwriting blog called “Screenwriting from Iowa”, created and posted the video “Filmmaking from a Coffin”. I told Scott this could be a nice niche for him, doing a monthly vlog.

Well, he just made it under the wire, posting a 2nd video below on his website yesterday, the last day of the month. In the video, Scott looks at sports-themed movies:

Scott’s right: A sports-themed movie has to be about more than the sport. The latter provides a spine for the plot and a metaphor for life, but without an emotional throughline, you don’t have a satisfying or meaningful story.

And congratulations to Canada for their victory in men’s hockey in the Olympics yesterday. Although the USA’s goalie Ryan Miller did an incredible job.
