“The Dialogue Series”
When I first started this blog and began my quest to aggregate as much content about screenwriting and screenwriters as I could find, I quickly discovered “The Dialogue Series”. Very simple premise: A sit-down interview with a professional screenwriter, each DVD about 75–90 minutes in length.
The series tagline pretty much says it all: “Learning from the masters”. The impressive roster of screenwriters interviewed includes:
Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby)
Jim Uhls (Fight Club, Jumper)
Callie Khouri (Thelma & Louise, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood)
Scott Rosenberg (Beautiful Girls, High Fidelity)
Robin Swicord (Little Women, Memoirs of a Geisha)
Kurtzman & Orci (Mission Impossible III, Star Trek)
I get approached to promote a lot of things on GITS. I rarely do. But this is different. “The Dialogue Series” is unfiltered and direct ‘wisdom’ from working screenwriters. And it should be obvious by the 100+ video interviews with screenwriters that I’ve linked to on this blog how important I think that type of learning is.
The folks at “The Dialogue Series” have agreed to offer a special 15% discount to GITS readers. If you’re interested, the discount code is: thestory15.
