Alejandro Brugués is an Argentinian-Cuban director and writer known for directing Juan of the Dead, which is credited as Cuba's first zombie movie. He made his directorial debut with the 2006 film Personal Belongings and directed the segment The Thing in the Woods in the anthology horror film Nightmare Cinema from Mick Garris, as well as a segment for ABCs of Death 2.Alejandro's latest movie is The Inheritance, a horror thriller that revolves around a wealthy patriarch who devises a twisted scheme to prolong his life through a sinister game of manipulation with his own children.Joe Russo is a dear friend, consistent guest on the show, three-time BloodList writer, producer, and director known for The Au Pair Nightmare, which he directed, Hard Kill, which he wrote, and as a producer on Nightmare Cinema, The World's Greatest Beer Run, and of course, The Inheritance, which he produced and co-wrote.In this episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show, I speak to Joe and Alejandro about the making of The Inheritance, which was a multi-year labor of love riddled with challenges. We get into everything from their multi-year collaborative relationship, the movie's influences, hair-raising production challenges, and how adaptability and resourcefulness are crucial for getting your movies made.Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Joe and Alejandro.The Door Never Opens the Right Way. Filmmaking is rife with unexpected challenges and setbacks, humorously summarized by Alejandro when he recalled how a 400-pound door was installed to open in the wrong direction. This illustrates that on set, problems are inevitable: set pieces won't work as planned, locations will change at the last minute, props will malfunction, and actors will break down. This movie experienced more than its fair share of problems, including restrictive COVID protocols, unexpected location changes, and losing their distributor. Understanding that these issues are a natural part of filmmaking can help maintain a positive and proactive attitude on set. Both Joe and Alejandro highlighted the importance of being flexible and creative in problem-solving on set.Keep a shot list and a shit list. In addition to a shot list, Alejandro keeps a list of everything that could go wrong on a particular day with every single shot and mentally prepares for those scenarios. Preempting problems is crucial for staying on schedule and maintaining quality under pressure. The ability to get ahead of any technical, acting, or camera problems that can occur with your shots will develop your problem-solving skills and enable your resilience as a director.Storyboard with Action Figures. Alejandro uses action figures in pre-production and on set to visualize and stage scenes. This technique helps him communicate his vision clearly to the cast and crew and even test out blocking. Not everyone can draw storyboards, but it's essential to figure out how to visually communicate your ideas effectively. Whether it's through action figures, detailed sketches, or digital tools, find what works best for you and stick to it without shame.Show NotesMovies:Evil DeadKnives OutHouse on Haunted HillReady or NotThiefThe Fall of the House of UsherBooks:"Making Movies" by Sidney LumetTV Shows:The Walking DeadSuccessionFollow Joe Russo at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joerussogramX (Twitter): https://x.com/joerussotweetsWebsite:
Send us a Text Message.On this episode I talk with my friend Joe Russo. Joe is a killer writer and producer who you may know from The Post Mortem podcast with Mick Garris. We talk about his new films “The Inheritance” and “Soul Mates.” I had a great time as always with Joe and i hope you dig this episode.https://joerussofilm.com/https://m.imdb.com/name/nm2349665/https://twitter.com/joerussotweets/status/1804196515734524037Synth Outro by Abraxas HornMy email and social links:Brandonlegion666@yahoo.comTwitter: Horrorwolf666Instagram: Brandonlegion666 Facebook: Horrorwolf666Website: www.horrorwolf666.com(Merchandise)https://www.teepublic.com/user/the-horrorwolf666-podcasthttps://the-horrorwolf666-podcast.creator-spring.com/
Joe Russo and Mark Gantt are the team behind Soul Mates, a horror romance that explores the complexities of modern relationships through a matchmaking service that spirals into darkness. Joe was the producer with Mark directing. Joe Russo is a three-time BloodList writer, producer and director known for The Au Pair Nightmare, which he directed, Hard Kill, which he was a writer on, and as a producer on Nightmare Cinema, The World's Greatest Beer Run and the upcoming horror thriller, The Inheritance.Mark Gantt is an actor, director, producer, and writer recognized for acting work on The Bannen Way, Criminal Minds, American Horror Story: Hotel, and Dexter. Mark has also directed multiple features including A Deadly Price For Her Pretty Face and Secret Life of a Celebrity Surrogate.In our conversation, Joe and Mark delve into the inspiration behind the film, the creative process, and the challenges faced during production. They also discuss the film's commentary on modern dating, the importance of not being an asshole in the industry, and the serendipitous real-life romance that developed on set.Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Joe and Mark.Write about real fears and anxieties. Joe and his writing partner Chris channeled their fears of online dating into the script for Soulmates. If you're afraid of something or have a societal observation, chances are lots of other people feel the same way. Eli Roth always uses his own fear as the foundation for his movies, which makes them viscerally relatable and therefore effective horror. They also balanced the movie by incorporating the absurdity of reality dating shows to create a unique horror/humor experience.Movie karma is very real. A key person on this movie was the talent agent that Joe and Mark worked with who was Joe's old intern. This agent championed the movie within the agency and landed them a killer cast. The agent's positive working relationship with Joe greatly helped this. Joe emphasized the importance of treating everyone well in the industry, as today's assistant could be tomorrow's studio executive. No matter who you're interacting with, maintain professional and respectful relationships. Be nice, and be kind. Not just because they could gain more stature later on, but because it's the right thing to do.Your determination must be dogged. "Soulmates" took 14 years from conception to completion, going through multiple rewrites and producers. In the end, the movie got greenlit but the trouble didn't stop there as the team faced major setbacks, such as an actor's emergency surgery, but through it all the production persisted through strong problem-solving, support from producers, and good old grit. Stories like this are typically the rule, not the exception, in filmmaking. Guillermo Del Toro said the natural state of a movie is for it to not get made, so you as a filmmaker must be a force both in terms of determination and resilience.Follow Joe Russo at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joerussogramX (Twitter): https://x.com/joerussotweetsWebsite: https://joerussofilm.com/IMBd: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2349665/Follow Mark Gantt at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markgantt/X (Twitter):

I am extremely excited to have on the show today a fellow podcaster, established producer, director, and writer, Mick Garris. Mick's podcast, Post Mortem with Mick Garris, dives deep into the devious minds of the greatest filmmakers and creators of your worst nightmares to bring their distinctive visions to life in fascinating one-on-one conversations. He's renowned for his classic screen adaptation of Stephen King's books like Sleepwalkers (1992), The Shinning and The Stand. and creator of 2005, Masters of Horror series.The California native began his passion for storytelling as early as 12 years old - writing short stories. He launched his passion onto the journalism path at just 16 years old. Driven by curiosity, he freelanced as a film and music critic and landed interviews with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Rod Serling, and Ray Bradbury in the 70s. It's remarkable what Mick accomplished in a time where everyone needed to know someone to get a foot in the door, let alone that early in life and without the help of social media. I guess folks were intrigued by his talent and drive.While doing film criticism, Mick wrote specs, publications for magazines, and did some filming on 8mm. The guy lived the dream. The hard work began to pay off. His agent, Rick Jaffa read some of his specs, believed in him, and introduced Mick to Steven Spielberg. Mick ended up writing the first episode of the Spielberg sci-fi series, Amazing Stories, and seven other episodes.He's credited for writing screenplays like Psycho IV: The Beginning, Fly II, and the She-Wolf of London series. He was also was an editor on Spielberg's other project, *Batteries Not Included, in which aliens help a feisty old New York couple in their battle against the ruthless land developer who's out to evict them.Garris has written and directed a lot of other horror classics such as Halloween comedy favorite, Hocus Pocus. The film follows a villainous comedic trio of witches who are inadvertently resurrected by a teenage boy in Salem, Massachusetts, on Halloween night.Garris and I talked about his incredibly difficult yet fun experience shooting his small budget directorial debut, feature sequel Critters 2. In the film, Eggs of the small but voracious alien creatures called Crites are left behind on earth and, after hatching, set their appetites on the small farm town of Grover's Bend.The man's contribution to the horror genre has amazing. Can't wait for you to catch up on my conversation with Mick Garris.
Destacamos esta inquieta película episódica de terror que ha pasado desapercibida. Se trata de una carta de amor al cine y en especial al terror moderno, que frecuenta con mano de cirujano la iconografía y los tópicos del moderno cine de terror. El resultado es una cinta desenfadada y cómplice, un juguete caro que cuesta trabajo no comprar. David G. Panadero conduce esta Sesión Prótesis acompañado por Santiago Alonso.

THE MOVIE CRYPT's special roundtable series continues as Adam sits down with Mick Garris (THE STAND, NIGHTMARE CINEMA), Darren Lynn Bousman (SAW 2-4, REPO! THE GENETIC ROCK OPERA) and Tom Six (THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 1-3, THE ONANIA CLUB) to discuss violence in cinema and where they draw the line with the art that they put out into the world. From the films that disturbed them… to whether or not it is an artist's responsibility to consider who might wind up seeing their work… to dealing with the MPAA's often nonsensical editorial demands before release… to today's “participation trophy culture”… to trying to push an audience's limits in modern “woke” times where acting offended has become America's new favorite pastime… to what each artist says they just would never personally do in a film… to how their perspectives may or may not have changed with age or becoming a parent… this conversation has never been more poignant than it is today. As with all of our roundtable episodes, we hope you will continue this conversation with your own friends and family the next time entertainment is blamed for a real life atrocity. Joe was on location directing his latest film when this roundtable was recorded but he weighs in with his perspective on the subject during an extended introduction. This conversation was recorded on May 11, 2022, several weeks before the most recent string of mass shooting tragedies in the United States of America. To hear the roundtable that was specifically about gun violence, check out episode 459 which premiered on March 21, 2022.

HALLOWEEN BONUS from my other show Bulletproof Screenwriting.I am extremely excited to have on the show today a fellow podcaster, established producer, director, and writer, Mick Garris. Mick's podcast, Post Mortem with Mick Garris, dives deep into the devious minds of the greatest filmmakers and creators of your worst nightmares to bring their distinctive visions to life in fascinating one-on-one conversations. He's renowned for his screen adaptations of Stephen King's books like Sleepwalkers (1992) , and creator of 2005, Masters of Horror series.The California native began his passion for storytelling as early as 12 years old - writing short stories. He launched his passion onto the journalism path at just 16 years old. Driven by curiosity, he freelanced as a film and music critic and landed interviews with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Rod Serling, and Ray Bradbury in the 70s. It's remarkable what Mick accomplished in a time where everyone needed to know someone to get a foot in the door, let alone that early in life and without the help of social media. I guess folks were intrigued by his talent and drive.While doing film criticism, Mick wrote specs, publications for magazines, and did some filming on 8mm. The guy lived the dream. The hard work began to pay off. His agent, Rick Jaffa read some of his specs, believed in him, and introduced Mick to Steven Spielberg. Mick ended up writing the first episode of the Spielberg sci-fi series, Amazing Stories, and seven other episodes.He's credited for writing screenplays like Psycho IV: The Beginning, Fly II, and the She-Wolf of London series. He was also was an editor on Spielberg's other project, *Batteries Not Included, in which aliens help a feisty old New York couple in their battle against the ruthless land developer who's out to evict them.Garris has written and directed a lot of other horror classics such as Halloween comedy favorite, Hocus Pocus. The film follows a villainous comedic trio of witches who are inadvertently resurrected by a teenage boy in Salem, Massachusetts, on Halloween night.Garris and I talked about his incredibly difficult yet fun experience shooting his small budget directorial debut, feature sequel Critters 2. In the film, Eggs of the small but voracious alien creatures called Crites are left behind on earth and, after hatching, set their appetites on the small farm town of Grover's Bend.The man's contribution to the horror genre has amazing. Can't wait for you to catch up on my conversation with Mick Garris.

Relato de terror, escrito por Richard Matheson y Richard Christian Matheson. Considerado por Ray Bradbury como uno de los más importantes escritores del siglo XX, y por Stephen King, Matheson ha escrito algunas obras fundamentales de la moderna literatura fantástica, como “Soy leyenda” (1954), o la citada “El hombre menguante” (1956). “Cuando pensabas que el relato se iba a acabar —recuerda Stephen King—, cuando tus nervios ya no podían seguir soportándolo, entonces Matheson encendía el turbo y pasaba a la máxima potencia… Cuando la gente habla del género de terror, supongo que mi nombre es lo primero que menciona, pero sin Richard Matheson yo no estaría aquí”.

También participó como soldado en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Matheson fue un relevante creador de historias de terror, ciencia-ficción y fantasía que tanto ha escrito relatos cortos y novelas como ha escrito guiones cinematográficos y televisivos. Influyó notablemente a otros escritores de los géneros citados, entre ellos Stephen King o Brian Lumley. La década de los 50 es probablemente su mejor período como autor, ya que en ese decenio escribió algunos de sus libros de relatos cortos más prestigiosos, como “Nacido De Hombre y Mujer” (1954) y “Las Playas Del Espacio” (1957); y las novelas “Soy Leyenda” (1954), llevada en diversas ocasiones a la gran pantalla, “El Hombre Menguante” (1956), título que conoció una estupenda adaptación cinematográfica por parte de Jack Arnold, o “El Último Escalón” (1958). Otros títulos claves de su bibliografía más allá de los años 50 son los libros de relatos “Shock!” y las novelas “La Casa Infernal” (1971), “En Algún Lugar Del Tiempo” (1975) y “Más Allá De Los Sueños” (1978). Matheson falleció en Los Angeles, California, el 23 de junio del año 2013. Tenía 87 años de edad. Fue incinerado.

He is the author of the suspense novel Created By and Hollywood novella of magic realism The Ritual of Illusion, and was the editor of the commemorative book Stephen King's Battleground. Matheson also adapted the short story which was made into an iconic episode of the TNT series Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King and won two Emmys. He wrote or co-wrote the screenplays for Three O'Clock High, Full Eclipse, It Takes Two, Loose Cannons Shifter, Midvale The Nature of Evil (co-written with his father Richard Matheson), Paradise, It Waits, Happy Face Killer, Voices of Midway, "≤Red Sleep", "Hooky", Dean Koontz's Soul Survivor as a 4-hour mini series, three Masters of Horror episodes, Stephen King's Big Driver, and Nightmare Cinema.

Wells' The Time Machine, Roger Zelazny's The Chronicles of Amber and Whitley Strieber's Majestic. Matheson also wrote comedy and drama pilots for major studios and networks. He co-created, co-executive produced and co-wrote all thirteen episodes of the Cinemax series Chemistry. He has been executive story consultant, supervising producer and executive producer for network television series. He is also the co-executive producer of the films Cub, It Waits, Paradise, Full Eclipse and Big Driver.

Joe Russo is an American writer, director, producer and podcaster. On top of being a very accomplished screenwriter with multiple scripts under his belt including the recent Bruce Willis thriller, HARD KILL, Joe's had a multi year collaboration with Mick Garris, and in addition to producing Mick's Post Mortem Podcast, Joe produced the amazing anthology Nightmare Cinema last year. Joe's most recent project is his feature directorial debut, The Au Pair Nightmare, now on the Lifetime Network. The Au Pair Nightmare tells the story of Taylor, a young au pair who cares for a family who holds a dark secret. It's a great watch, and you can stream it on Prime Video right now. He is a household name in the horror community and I really enjoyed chatting with him. Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Joe: Stick to your guns. At the beginning stages of pitching The Au Pair Nightmare, Joe was offered a deal for the movie, but only if he changed a major plot point. Typically someone in the position of making their first feature would grab the first deal that came their way, regardless of the consequences, but not Joe. Joe pushed back on the change from the producer and even offered to walk away. Ultimately, the producer noticed how much he cared about his story and did the deal anyway, allowing Joe to keep the original concept in the script. There are a number of things to be learned here. One, it's critical to stick to your vision. Yes, movie making is all about compromises, and you inevitably will have to stray from your original vision a little bit for producers, but at the same time, your movie has to remain your movie. Producers are always testing the directors they consider working with. In this case, the producer was impressed by Joe's willingness to fiercely stick to his original vision because this conviction is indicative of the kind of strength and commitment directors need to have on set. That alone told this investor that Joe was a worthwhile investment. So make compromises when you have to, but try to stick to your vision as much as possible. Build a tribe of mentors. Joe is in the very fortunate position to work closely with Mick Garris and is involved in Mick's Podcast, where he interviews some of the greatest names in horror history. As such, Joe gets exposure and access to not only Mick but some of the other greatest minds in horror. This gives Joe a huge advantage in being able to ask people like Joe Dante for advice on his own projects. It's a rare situation to be in, but if you can find a way to connect with other directors who you can turn to for advice on your own projects, do it. Follow your gut. At a pivotal moment in Joe's career, one of the critical pieces of advice Mick Garris gave Joe was to follow his gut when it came to selecting & developing projects. Instead of being a careerist who takes what's given to him, Mick advised Joe to follow the stories that he was naturally drawn to, and that makes all the difference in many movie careers. When directors are making movies that they're not really passionate about, the audience can always tell, and it makes for dreadful cinema. On the other hand, you can also tell when directors are truly passionate about what they're making with the level of care and enthusiasm that often jumps off of the screen. Furthermore, directors naturally will work harder when they care about the story, so learn to follow your gut towards what you're passionate about - it'll always make your movies better. Dig deeper. A piece of advice that Mick gave to Joe was to always dig deeper into the horror element to find real, relatable emotion. Joe took this very seriously when developing the Au Pair Nightmare, which could have been a very straightforward thriller but instead had this entire level of psychological depth. Concepts like obsession & psychopathology are fascinating to explore, and this embed the Au Pair Nightmare with a real spirit of psychosis. Always take the time to dig further beneath the surface of your characters as doing so will make them more interesting, relatable, and will ultimately make the horror & thriller elements work even better. Direct for Lifetime. As Joe Bob Briggs mentioned, one of the only companies putting out exploitation cinema these days is Lifetime. Au Pair was a little on the tame side of outlandishness, but when you look at the plots for some Lifetime movies, you'll soon realize they are entirely modern exploitation cinema. In addition to Joe, Rebekah Mckendry's movies have also premiered on Lifetime as well. So when you're pitching that scandalous thriller, consider sending it to Lifetime; they're quickly & covertly becoming an exploitation powerhouse.

Ryuhei Kitamura is a Japanese director of such movies as Versus, Clive Barker's Midnight Meat Train, No One Lives, Downrange, and the Mashit segment of Nightmare Cinema. Ryuhei's director origin story is pretty inspiring - when making his feature debut, Versus, he went through a brutal series of hardships but still managed to pull off an extremely impressive movie, loaded with highly complex zombie fight sequences and gore gags. One of the things that stands out in Ryuhei's career history is his relentlessness. Throughout his career, a multitude of things kept not working out, but he relentlessly pushed on and on until he became the director he is today. Overall, Ryuhei's story is a true tale of pioneering filmmaking, and he claims that one of the main things that got him through the challenges was his Samurai spirit, which we hear more about, as well as very entertaining stories about how much boldness can pay off as well as details about Ryuhei's collaboration with Clive Barker. All of this and so much more on this episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show. Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Ryuhei: Blame yourself. At his lowest point, when nothing was working out and Ryuhei could have blamed producers, actors, and the Hollywood system Ryuhei instead blamed himself. This was actually an act of self-empowerment, which enabled him to pull himself up by his bootstraps and make things happen because he knew nobody was coming to save him. When things go wrong, it's human nature to find things to blame it on, but instead, Ryuhei's story is a reminder to take full responsibility. Hollywood is a fickle beast, loaded with liars, sharks, and parasites. When the chips are down, take the blows, learn the lessons, get back up, and take ownership of all of it. The system owes you nothing; you have to fight for every inch you get. Be willing to throw it all away. This is an extremely hard lesson, but on Versus, after spending tens of thousands of dollars that he raised from friends and family, Ryuhei looked at what he had shot and realized it wasn't good enough. This led him to scrap 80% of the footage he spent months on grueling sets shooting. This is heartbreaking but an inevitable part of the journey. Yes, your material will never be perfect, but regardless of how hard you work on something or how much money you spent on it if the quality isn't there, it's time to scrap it and start over. You'll have to live with each and every frame of your movie for your entire life, so you really can't afford to put out anything that you're not happy with. Make outrageous demands, and you'll be surprised how often you get what you want. After talking to enough directors, I realized that movies are made up of a bunch of mini-miracles, and you have to believe they're possible first. After shooting Versus on a shoestring budget, Ryuhei boldly approached one of the top editors in Japan and asked him to edit his movie for free. The guy laughed at him at first, but Ryuhei's conviction persuaded him to do it. This substantially boosted the quality of Versus and put Ryuhei on the map, and he was eventually able to pay the guy back. To make a movie is literally to do the impossible with limited time and on a limited budget; often, the only thing that will get your movie made properly is your own boldness and determination to make the impossible possible. This means you have to be bold and make some preposterously outrageous demands, and when you do, you may be surprised how often people say yes. Despite the fact that Hollywood can be rough, don't forget there are angels as well as demons. You'd be surprised at how often people in the industry want to help filmmakers out because they all know how difficult the job is. This is both a matter of getting out of your comfort zone and also believing in the power of possibility. So if you identify an opportunity like this, ask for it, the worst they can do is say no. ----- Produced by Simpler Media
Mick Garris is one of the most prominent names in horror history; he is a prolific writer, prolific director, a prolific human being in every sense of the word. One of the most interesting things about Mick is that he's been working in horror in one way or another since the 70's and has watched cinematic history unfold. He began his career answering phones on Star Wars and went on to do publicity work on An American Werewolf in London and he even makes a cameo appearance in The Howling (he's the guy on the couch at the end watching Dee Wallace turn into a werewolf on TV). Mick has produced, written and directed a countless amount of movies and TV shows and has had a famously long standing collaborative relationship with Stephen King. Mick has also worked on such films as: Critters 2, The Fly 2, Psycho 4 - The Beginning, The Shining (TV movie), Bag of Bones, Hocus Pocus, The Stand, Riding the Bullet, Sleepwalkers, Batteries Not Included & multiple TV series including: Tales from the Crypt, Amazing Stories, Freddy's Nightmares, and Masters of Horror. Mick has been interviewing big names in horror for decades and you probably know him best for his podcast, Post Mortem with Mick Garris - if you haven't heard it, turn this off right now and go listen to Post Mortem, right now. Seriously, I'll wait… Also be sure to check out Mick's new film, Nightmare Cinema, coming to theaters in February. In addition to having worked in horror for so many decades, on so many movies in so many different capacities (writer, producer, director), Mick is beloved in the industry has had close friendships with some of the biggest names in horror; Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven, George Romero, John Carpenter, Joe Dante, Guillermo Del Toro all have the pleasure of Mick's friendship --- on top of being incredibly knowledgeable, Mick is a genuinely sweet and kind person. I had a wonderful time speaking to him, and hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. Now, here are 3 keys from Mick Garris for aspiring horror filmmakers: Keep Calm and Write On - Even if your script doesn't get bought, it can still have an impact later down the line. A lot of aspiring screenwriters are put off by the risk of spending months on a spec script because there's always a chance it won't get made. Mick tells us that's not the point. Even if it doesn't get made, a producer may still read it, take note of your style, dialogue, or storytelling ability and contact you for something else later on. Because of this, it's important to approach everything you write or create as a potential calling card and potential stepping stone. Don't skimp on quality because it's “just a spec script.” Spec scripts matter. The other thing about writing on spec, is that when you do, the script is entirely yours. Mick has written a ton of projects, a lot of which have gotten made, but some of which haven't gotten made. In Mick's experience, pitching a fully developed script, as opposed to just a concept or treatment, enables you to have way more control over the project. When you pitch a concept, producers are likely to assign multiple writers, other producers and multiple others who will want to weigh in and leave their mark on your project - this quickly causes ‘film by committee' which no director wants. Lastly, and possibly the most important thing about writing spec scripts, is this: it enables you to work on your craft. Each script you write makes you a better screenwriter - so to avoid writing that script because you're afraid it won't get sold is preposterous, because the more scripts you write, the better your writing gets and the more and the more likely you'll be to sell a script. It's important to hone your storytelling, dialogue and writing skills, and spec scripts allow you to do all of those. So write that script as well as you can - if it doesn't get bought it can open doors for you and if it does get bought, you'll have more control over the project but regardless, you'll be a better writer and storyteller having written it. Which segues nicely into the next point. Read On Writing By Stephen King - In an interview, George RR Martin (of Game of Thrones Fame) asked Stephen King, and I quote, "how the fuck do you write so many books so fast?" This book tells you how. It's the most straightforward, no nonsense, actionable guide for not just aspiring writers and screenwriters, but artists in general. A lot of important people cite it as a critical volume and it's an easy read. I've read it and listened to it, and I recommend doing both. Stephen King does the narration, and he's not only hilarious at times but, it feels like he's sitting down talking to you and giving you writing advice, which is super cool. So listen to it to get the basic principles, then read it to really let those principles sink in. On Writing by Stephen King. CHECK IT OUT. Ego is the Enemy - Mick touched on something that doesn't get discussed very often, but makes a huge difference in careers - be the kind of person people enjoy working with. You know those actors that fall of the map and you never hear from them again and you think to yourself ‘what ever happened to so and so?' Most likely they were assholes on set and were never hired again. Same goes for directors, same goes for writers. Be the kind of person who is enjoyable to work with. Mick is adored in the industry and always have been, and it's because he's not only a sweet and wonderful human being, he's also a great collaborator. Being collaborative is a big element of Mick's success both as a director, writer and producer - there is no more communal job than filmmaking, so while it's important to fight for your vision, always, be open to the fact that some of the best ideas can come from outside of yourself. BONUS: Don't network - be a good friend - Your immediate circle of friends can be a huge part of your success. Mostly because of the inspirational value they can bring you. Mick's closest friends were people like Tobe Hooper, Stephen King, George Romero, Wes Craven, the list goes on. Imagine how much they shaped him as an artist, and imagine how much he helped shape all of them. Organize dinners and hang outs with people who inspire you - you are the sum total of the five people you spend the most amount of time with - so choose your circle of friends wisely. That's all we have for this week, big huge thanks to Mick Garris for being so generous with his knowledge. Be sure to check out Mick's podcast, Post Mortem on the Blumhouse network.
