re: Anora, i feel like some films are more akin to novels, while others to short stories. Often short stories craft a glimpse or vignette of someone where the reader is expected to work to pull the “interiority” from the character from the intentional but limited context

Criticizing a film about lower class characters because it defines them by circumstances and/or plot mechanics instead of giving them any sense of interiority is a bit tricky. There should be a question of what the film is exactly doing with that choice rather than dismissing it.

So Contact is one of my favorite sci-fi movies, and part of why is about how "real" it feels. It's far less fantastic-feeling than most sci-fi.Part of that is the contemporary setting, sure, but the visual direction plays a big part of it. pic.twitter.com/ov2CY8JAxJ— foone🏳️‍⚧️ (@Foone) August 19, 2018

1. HOW TO WRITE HORROR FOR TV. (A thread!) I've said a lot of things on the topic of scary movies, but what about scary TV shows? For the most part, everything I've posted about movies carries over, the obvious difference with TV is how you use TIME to your advantage.— Seth M Sherwood (@SethMSherwood) February 18, 2023

TEN THINGS ABOUT HOW TO FORMAT A SCRIPT. Based on questions I get after screenwriter twitter has a debate about em-dashes or whatever. (Which is charming. That’s not a criticism.) Here is what works for me and works for scripts I read when I am hiring.— Sera Gamble (@serathegamble) January 14, 2023
