Not Tarantino, Sarantinos from Creative Screenwriting touts Ozark Showrunner, Gigs, Contests

by Screenmancer Staff

Just in time to relieve your writing-related depression… Notice how close the word relieve is to relive? Digression aside, the editor-in-chief of “Creative Screenwriting” is here to throw you a lifeline back to happiness. Or relative almost-happiness, given the MyCorona, riots, wild fires, you name it.

For a Monday, this actually cheered us up over at Screenmancer. Hope it works for you too, in your writing bubble. And yes, the man’s name does rhyme with “Tarantino,” you’re right.

Now write on, no, read on first…

A Letter from Your Screenwriting Inspo Source, Or Your New Source 😉

Another big week, so make sure to check out our interviews with Chris Mundy, showrunner of the slow-burning thriller Ozark and in-demand screenwriter Mattson Tomlinson of Project Power about their writing process. Speaking of the writing process, we explore why you should research, and when to stop. To end the week, check out our craft article on ways to end your screenplay.

Plus, plenty of writing gigs listed below, brought to you by our friends at the ISA. And, don’t forget to connect with us here: Facebook. Twitter. Instagram.

Until next week. Stay safe,

J.G. Sarantinos
