Art, life, dreams and visions, instincts, lessons, craft, stories, memories, scents and colors, feelings and thoughts, places and people. This is just the beginning of it. Constantly learning and evolving. The crazier the ride, the better for me. So true. I hate boring things and boring people. I live my life the way I want to. I have faith in God, and that keeps me going. I listen to my inner nerd, always. Writing came with me as I was born. Screenwriting was my first love, and I am still in that relationship - happiest ever.
I read other screenwriters' works in the past two years. Around 50 scripts. It was a much-needed experience. I've learned what I wanted to do like them and what I would never do. I also read famous screenplays (around 30) to see it written down what I've already fallen in love with on the screen. Another lethal spot. Priceless experience. As a screenwriter, you can not escape this part. Just saying.
Funny thing or not but I've never learned screenwriting in a film school. That subject was missing from my film studies back in 2004-2005. MAFILM gave me a wonderful time but it was more like a little bit of everything and not specializing in one territory. I was into directing back then, so that was my major goal.
Everything starts with the script. We, writers, are the most important parts and parcels of this game.
Feature-length films, short films, television series, web series, stage plays - I'm writing all of these. But my major writing goal is to write TV/web series because my main problem was how to shorten my stories to be able to fit in one feature film. I'm relieved now that I know about the solution. Blood and honey. Set me free.
Specializing in one genre is another tricky part. I know mine but I don't want to be locked inside a box. I like freedom in creativity. I function best when there are no boundaries. My mind is my best friend. We create what you are looking for. Scorpion eyes.
I'm most definitely a freelancer. Open to paid assignments and spreading my spec scripts around.
your screenwriter,
Kata The Nomad
