January 1, 2019 Scriptnotes

In this bonus episode for premium subscribers, John hosts a Q&A with Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairnes to discuss their new film 1917. They discuss writing a war film without exposition, turning psychology into behavior, and portraying emotional processing in real-time.

They also answer audience questions on having a separate technical script and the challenges of editing a single-shot film.

Happy New Year!
