• In the process of rewriting with a<br />
producer/director/filmmaker, be<br />
prepared to ‘defend’ your words, but<br />
not precious or intransigent about<br />
them.<br />
• Always be prepared to listen and<br />
be open to changes to make things<br />
clearer/better/stronger for the good<br />
of the story/characters/film (this<br />
goes for the edit too).<br />
• Once the time comes to lift the<br />
finalised words from the page, they<br />
are not ‘my’ films, they are ‘our’<br />
films.<br />
• Be a team player - stay flexible,<br />
adaptable and open to your team’s<br />
suggestions and ideas, but support<br />
the director’s vision; they must have<br />
the final say.<br />
• Do what you can to make the shoot<br />
a fun place to be and ensure all<br />
involved know how valued their<br />
contribution is.<br />
• Everyone being a supportive<br />
collaborator creates a tight knit<br />
‘family’ of like-minded people striving<br />
to produce the best film they can.<br />
• This all led to us having great<br />
atmospheres on set. This allowed<br />
‘happy accidents’ on the day of<br />
character to life and be in a film?<br />
Having seen the edits of all three<br />
versions, I’m overwhelmed with pride,<br />
not for myself, but for our films and for<br />
everyone who has contributed to their<br />
creation throughout this whole process.<br />
To know that my little ink blobs have<br />
translated to those beautiful images on<br />
screen.<br />
To see characters brought alive and<br />
speaking my words, making them work<br />
far better than they were written is a<br />
sublime experience, one that spurs me<br />
on to do more and do even better.<br />
