Screenwriting Tip #931
screenwritingtips:

The Film Industry Career Flow Chart →
Via @mikejonestv:
It’s throughly disturbing how accurate this flow-chart can feel as you trace its permutations through with your finger… And yet I cant help but baulk at cynicism. I declare there has never been a better time to be a screen media practitioner because there has never been so many screens to make stuff for…!
