A hard-hitting look at the craft of screenwriting and filmmaking based on Scott W. Smith’s book “Screenwriting with Brass Knuckles” and his Emmy-winning blog “Screenwriting from Iowa . . . and Other Unlikely Places.” This podcast seeks to inspire and encourage everyone on a creative journey (who wants to tell better narrative stories) by pulling the most helpful and powerful quotes from accomplished screenwriters and filmmakers across feature films, television, and new media. (And maybe for a few people who just love movies and TV shows and want to learn more about the behind-the-scenes process of how films and programs are made.)
