The 'Chernobyl' Scripts #WeekendReading →

I can finally read the scripts to the finest TV show of 2019. 

“I want everyone who watches this show to consider how they themselves are complicit in a kind of conspiracy against truths that are uncomfortable.”

The Creator Craig Mazin’s interview is also a nice primer to the show and the scripts.

Write A Scene in 7 Minutes

You wouldn’t write a scene this fast unless you’re on a set, but it’s a great video that covers almost all aspects of writing a screenplay in less than a half hour.

We challenged screenwriter Emily Carmichael to write a scene on camera--in seven minutes. Emily talks through her process and takes us into the mind of a screenwriter. She had only seven minutes to write the first draft, five minutes to write the second draft, and three minutes to write the third draft--see what she ended up with.
