Being a screenwriter has many challenges, especially in these days of it being taught far and wide in a multiplicity of academic institutions. One of the things that is most challenging about it is that very little of the instruction is based on writing to where one's talents and the market collide fortuitously. In this age of increasing opportunity, there is ironically less emphasis than before on the actual process of making sure your individual talents are maximized along with your opportunities. This series emphasizes some of the tricks of the trade to help you maximize your opportunities both on the page and in the room while pitching. This episode is actually a reworking of an earlier version done over a year ago. There have been many changes to the business, and those will be explored in the context of new opportunities in this and the following episodes.

Since the 1920's, Hollywood has always had a solid balance between two types of movies (and later, TV shows/specials): "A Pictures," which had more emotionally based, character change oriented stories -- which made up approximately 2/3s of their output. The other 1/3 was "tent-poles," which tended toward spectacle and a more male-oriented, scene oriented perspective. For the past 15-25 years, this balance has been upset, with everything increasingly being tent-poles -- with disastrous results. We look at what this means as well as where this could be an opportunity for the next run of creatives. --- Please "like" and "subscribe." --- Visit our other channels... which have occasional exclusive content exploring the YouTube Unfriendly side of Hollywood!
