The Future of Screenwriting

Interesting podcast from Sam Ernst and Jim Dunn over at Sam and Jim Go To Hollywood on the future of features, screenwriting, and the business in general. This is good stuff and can be heard at:

I’m curious what screenwriters think about what Sam and Jim have to say and how they feel about features -vs- the internet.

For myself I have mixed feelings. I can see their point, but have to wonder if this is reminiscent of the naysayers declaring the demise of features in the early fifties when television became all the rage. Your thoughts?

On a similar note there was a wonderful discussion on NPR’s “The Diane Rhem Show” about the writer’s strike, the future of TV, etc. This podcast can be heard at: http://wamu.org/programs/dr/07/12/20.php#18780

That’s it for now. Keep writing.
