During LOTR’s opening battle, Elrond orders the elven warriors to fire & an arrow passes right by his ear, causing him to flinch. The attention to detail, the intimacy & messy reality of that moment… I knew right then how monumental those films would be. Today, the majesty still washes over me❤️

Man, BLAIR WITCH. “Funnest” scary movie to see with a crowd for the first time! That last sequence was crazy in the theater. One of my best audience experiences. Part of the fun of course was the “is it real” discourse. Phenomenal marketing on top of everything else.

If your characters are compelling, the plot engaging, the pacing tight, the emotion authentic, and the story concept strong, none of the so-called rules matter. The only thing that does is how your story plays on the page. #screenwriting

I never saw such a sight in my life.
