John has questions about the questions Craig answered on his Reddit AMA, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg as we answer six great listener questions:
– What’s the deal with the “mystery insider” Twitter accounts?
– Can a screenwriter use the n-word?
– If we had to start from scratch, what would we do?
– What did we mean by “lens selection?”
– To CONT’D, or not to CONT’D?
– Starting over after big life events.
Also, a reminder to Oscar winners: if you’re going to thank the creative team, don’t neglect to thank the screenwriter.
