Modern filmmaking is truly a collaborative art and at the heart of collaboration is communication. Study the history of film just a little and you – the writer – will quickly see how many drafts, changes, and rewrites went into movies we know and admire.

InkTip: How did you, Alyn, and Steve Daron collaborate on the script?

LW: This particular collaboration was quite painless. Alyn provided me with Steve’s core concept and notes, to which he added his own notes (mostly particular beats and imagery he, as director, was looking for). Working from that, and with a little back-and-forth on a few points, I wrote the screenplay. We all put a little polish on it and that was it. It was actually one of the quick- est writes I’ve done to date.

This was not the first write-for-hire job for me. I have done several, some of which have made it to the screen. It’s Omar Brunson and Chase Victoria on the Shadow Fighter set.
