Okay homeskillet and homeskilletettes. Before you write a movie-mov, you have to follow ten major steps.
1. Give yourself a year to write it...but don't get started until 364 days in. The dialogue will flow more naturally on the fly with eight hours and a hundred pages to go.
2. Come up with a super genius funny gimmick like I did in Juno with the barfing in Bren's urn. I was so proud of that. So so proud of it. DIDN'T YOU THINK IT WAS CLEVER?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
3. I don't like to paint my characters in a corner just to have to figure out ways to get them out. I prefer to just cut to the ending. I mean who's gonna tell?
4. Now Asian characters can be tricky. Originally I was going to play Su-Chin like a Vietnamese hooker. I was met with resistence. That's gonna happen in what I call "the biz". BUT I DID get to keep her broken English. All babies want to get borned!
