Hat tip to Kurt Dinan for bringing this one to my attention. It's a nice little doc if you're a writer of any kind. Fun to hear the stories, especially William Goldman and Shane Black. All the normal stuff is there: rejection, acception, rise and fall, working hard and getting nothing, spending years trying to break in, getting paid, etc, etc.
I think my favorite part is when John Carpenter (I paraphrase) points out that the screenwriter gets paid, even if his script is changed by a director. Stop whining and get over it. The point is, you got paid. Now go write something else.
Good stuff.
It's available on Netflix streaming.
