Cultural incongruence and its consequences is a theme which has shaped Bernardo Cubria's work in several different ways. As an actor, in television shows like Group, his work explores what it means to be misunderstood, and delves into the epiphany which often arises when one realizes his peers' criticisms and insights, which they initially may have dismissed, may, in fact, lead to realizations about self that may significantly affect their perspective. As a playwright, it has laid the backdrop that surrounds his stories about typecasting, politics, cultural appropriation, and the trivialization of minorities in America that can be seen in works like Crabs in a Bucket, which won the 2024 Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Writing; The Giant Void In My Soul, a satirical journey into fulfillment (and the lack thereof); Neighbors: A Fair Trade Agreement; and the timely portrait of electoral pregnancy in The Hispanic/Latino/Latina/Latinx/Latine Vote. His work has been awarded the Smith Prize for Political Theater and has been nominated for Stage Raw and Ovation awards. As a screenwriter, he wrote Like It Used to Be and Guerrero which Gina Rodriguez is attached to direct and star in, and he was a 2023 Sundance Screenwriters Lab fellow for the screenplay Kill Yr Idols which he cowrote. In our conversation, we discussed the interplay of the notable themes in Bernardo's projects, including Loop Group: Or Shia Lebeouf's Version, as well as being part of the writer's staff on Seasons 3 and 4 on the Apple + series, Acapulco.Opening Credits: AvapXia - Do You Still Think About Me?

Feral State is the story of a misfit gang of runaways and orphans who are taken in by a dark and charismatic father figure and together wreak havoc throughout swamps and trailer parks in central Florida. Writer-Director Jon Carlo talks to Write On about how the film came about: “Location was the starting point for everything. This movie came about in such an untraditional kind of way where the money was there first before there even was a script, and part of the stipulations was to shoot in a specific area in Florida, so I went down to meet the producers and kind of scope out the scene, and the story kind of grew organically out of what I was seeing in the community.”   Jon talks about his background as an actor, applying to the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, and how hard work is the key to a successful career. “I think the one thing that I’ve learned that I think is the most important lesson is you have to do the work. There is no easy way around: you can’t just scribble something down and hope that it’s good. You have to write and rewrite religiously until it’s there.”   Don’t forget to subscribe to the Write On Podcast on iTunes!

In this episode, she shares how she overcame personal and professional obstacles in order to become a screenwriter. She describes how affirmations helped her, what she learned about embracing creativity (and how you can embrace yours), as well as, talks about how to stand out from the crowd, especially if you are in a sea of like-minded professionals. Diane also leaves us with some insightful and profound thoughts and questions, like, “How far are you willing to go to make it happen?” Diane’s first feature, OBSELIDIA, premiered in Dramatic Competition at Sundance, where it won two awards, and went on to play at festivals around the world and be nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards.

Diane has been lucky enough to be a participant in the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, as well as the Women in Film/Sundance mentorship program, from which she learned tons.In addition to writing and directing films, she is passionate about sharing her knowledge to empower and inspire other filmmakers. Diane loves helping others break through their obstacles and achieve their dreams. Since 2014 she has taught workshops on how to make a successful indie film, and is thrilled to share this material in her book. If making movies is your dream, don’t let anything stop you!

(27:18) The affirmation that helped Diane get through writing her first screenplay. (28:47) The process of screenwriting, working through the first draft (aka the vomit draft), and how to know when you're done. (34:08) Diane talks about emotionalizing affirmations. (35:52) One of the many lessons she’s learned as a screenwriter, including, how the world receives her work is not in her control. (45:59) An insightful piece of advice for screenwriters and directors: make the movie, not for fame or for money, to make the movie you want to make. (56:08) I asked Diane: In this market of content overload, how do you make yourself stand out? This same idea is one I’m asked as a career coach to marketing professionals so I was curious if Diane had any insights that are transferable across our audiences.  Hear what Diane says to a marketer whom I coached and is interested in producing her own film and is hoping to stand out.

Neurobiologia kreatywności Kiedy przeczytałam, że zostawiła Londyn oraz wszystko co łączy się z metropolitalnym życiem artystycznym i postanowiła przez rok mieszkać na wsi w domu bez bierzącej wody i prądu, po to, aby odciąć się od bodźców zewnętrznych i skupić na pisaniu scenariusza filmowego, to poczułam, że bardzo chcę do niej pojechać i z nią porozmawiać. Byłam niezmiernie ciekawa tego jak pracuje, w jaki sposób przebiega jej proces twórczy, z czym się w trakcie tego procesu mierzy. Historia Kas Zawadowicz jest sama w sobie gotowym scenariuszem filmowym. Kończyła studiować prawo, była jesień 2008, gdy po raz pierwszy pojechała na Hel, aby wziąć udział w Film Spring Open. Plan był taki, że przyjeżdża na jeden dzień, w rezultacie została na miesiąc. Od tego czasu jej twórczość rozwija się w oparciu o kinematografię. Studiowała w Nowym Yorku – NYFA (Master of Fine Arts in Filmmaking) oraz na reżyserii w Szkole Wajdy. Zrobiła film “Samolot na Autobus” z Olgą Frycz, który był pokazywany na festiwalach w Cannes, Gdyni, Rhode Island i Camerimage. Rok rocznie, wracając na Film Spring, eksperymentowała z interaktywnością, grami komputerowymi oraz ogólnie rozumianą percepcją widza. Zrobiła ok. 20 filmów krótkometrażowych. Kocha książki, a jej silna potrzeba zrozumienia ich ekranowego bytu zaowocowała w 2014 roku udziałęm w AdaptLab (Torino Film Lab). Przez rok współpracowała min. z Evą Svensted Ward, redaktorką filmowej trylogii “Dziewczyna z tatuażem”. Obecnie, wraz z Fabricem Ziolkowskim (scenarzystą nominowanego do Oscara “Secret of Kells”) pisze animowany film pełnometrażowy Myszy Strajkują. Projekt produkowany jest przez Grupę Smacznego przy udziale Europejskiego Programu Media i PISF. Kas jest autorką warsztatów, które nazwała Neurobiologia kreatywności, z miłości do Mózgu. Rozmowę nagrałyśmy w kwietniu, Kas mówiła wtedy, że nie ma szans zdążyć napisać i złożyć scenariusza na  Sundance Screenwriters Lab. Mamy wrzesień i dzisiaj już wiadomo, że nie dość, że zdążyła, to przeszła do kolejnego etapu i jest w finale. Wyniki w grudniu, tym czasem zapraszam do wysłuchania naszej rozmowy.   Nasza rozmowa głównie dotyczyć będzie  zagadnienia neurobiologii kreatywności, poza tym usłyszysz: - przepis na kreatywność - co stymuluje proces twórczy - o motywacji do osiągania irracjonalnie wysokich celów - finished not perfect czyli o tym,że artysta kończy swoją pracę chociaż wie, że jest niedoskonała - czym jest perfekcjonizm w sztuce - o teorii neroplastyczności mózgu - co zrobić z blokada twórczą - metody Julii Cameron, Coacha twórczości
