ScreenwriterBones

Stories from a seasoned screenwriter. Take heart! Your creative source is infinite and un-ending. Sometimes Hollywood just rips up the roadmap back to it. The bottom line is that Hollywood is not at all as bad as it sounds. Additionally, it's worse than you can imagine. Remember to pack a sense of humor.

About Me

Name: Phil

I am a screenwriter living in Southern California. I've written screenplays for most of the Hollywood studios over the past 20 years. One of the uncredited writers of FANTASTIC FOUR, I wrote FIRE DOWN BELOW starring Steven Seagal, and the TV Movie 12:01 PM starring Martin Landau and MANEATER with Gary Busey. I have directed short films. I have written on numerous Hollywood studio assignments, some for big shot actors, some for small shot nobodies.

Please Don't Say It's Been A While

Seems to be a common thread out there. I've returned to the writing blog after a long absence and I checked out the others I used to love. Two have vanished, two have switched to podcasts, two are posting their 'classic posts' from years ago and one guy is current. Wow, times have changed.

Forget about the writers of Hollywood not getting hired to write, even the writers of blogs have stopped writing.

I've been away from this blog for two years. I've been through a series of adventures, all my own doing and none of them fun. But I've decided I have more to say. It has to do with a new adventure, going independent. And as I learn by doing I'll be glad to share with you what I learn.
