: Anyway, I'm going into my senior year of high school in a couple months, and I really want to go into screenwriting.
- Advice: write bunches, do re-writes, read books/scripts, do more re-writes, keep writing, live life, do another re-write.
Hoping to get into the film program at either USC or Chapman University in Orange California.
- Sounds expensive. What about using that money on a film project?
: I know you've probobly gotten this question before, but I was wondering, what sort of film training did you get, and where?
- A few months at Vancouver Film School; one short (Mae Day - follow the link). Love of movies and writing + working with people who can do the tech jobs.
: I think you are a great screenwriter. Also, once I'm outta college, does Askew have any internships or anything? Or, if Askew is gone by the time I'm out of college do you hire any students to do any sort of work for your films?
- AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Asking for a job on this board is not kosher. Consider yourself chastised.
Always,
Michael Raben
