Paul LavertyIf it's August it must be Edinburgh (until next year) and the International Film Festival, where I hook up with screenwriter Paul Laverty to talk about his new film It's A Free World and his work with Ken Loach. The show now has a svelte 30-mins-or-less time slot. [Download]


Tony JordanJuly 2007 and a very special podcast from the Cheltenham Screenwriters' Festival where I talk to Tony Jordan about the Red Planet Prize, how he started out, the kind of 'writers' he hates, the one key thing you need to know when creating a TV pilot, co-creating Life on Mars, and his newest venture.

SWF2007

Not audio but video this time (I believe they call it a 'vodcast') as I hit the Cheltenham Screenwriters' Festival in July 2007, did tons of filming, and put up highlights from the sessions at the Shootingscreenwriter channel. Wit and wisdom on all matters screenwriting from Tony Jordan, Diana Ossana, Kate Rowland, Julian Friedmann, Jurgen Wolff, Tony Grisoni (but not David Hare).


Syd FieldFor the June 2007 podcast I met legendary screenwriting guru, Syd Field and chatted about his 3-Act paradigm, learning from your students and the screenwriting revolution. Big thanks to Rinaldo and Liz from The Screenwriter's Store for making this one possible. [Download]


Chris HuntleyWhen I spotted that Chris Huntley, co-creator of Dramatica, was holidaying in the UK, I hoofed it down to London to spend an hour with him talking about DNA, character growth and why Dramatica is really 'story Viagra'. Now comes with added music! [Download]


Rold De HeerA much better sound quality on this one because I met face to face with Australian writer-director Rolf De Heer to talk about his stunning film Ten Canoes, indigenous Australian storytelling and how he writes his screenplays almost entirely with index cards. [Download]


Dito Montiel In March 2007 I do my first ever podcast and it sounds terrible! Never again will I record an interview over the phone unless I actually know what I'm doing. Despite that it's a really great talk with writer-director Dito Montiel about his debut movie A Guide to Recognising Your Saints and how he got his first screenwriting gig before he even knew what INT and EXT meant.
