An interview with screenwriter Bill Green regarding the Cinema City Online Writing Competition.
Q: What's the title of the script you entered in this contest, and what's it about?A: Whacked
This guy finds out he has a terminal disease and he's told that his insurance policy won't cover this particular illness. This means he'll die broke and not be able to send his daughter to a private college. He tries to get himself killed, but all his attempts fail, so, in a final act of desperation, he decides to hire an assassin.
However, upon finding that his checkup was bogus and he is in perfect health, he frantically attempts to cancel the hit, but now he can't find the shooter.
A: I entered last year and won, so I thought I'd do it again. It's a very big contest and a real challenge.
Q: Were you satisfied with the administration of the contest? Did they meet their deadlines? Did you receive all the awards that were promised?A: Absolutely.
Q: How long did it take you to write the script? Did you write an outline beforehand? How many drafts did you write?A: A couple of months or so. Yes, I wrote an outline. An outline denotes the plot or the guts of the movie. The actual writing is the icing.
Q: What kind of software did you use to write the script, if any? What other kinds of writing software do you use?A: Final Draft...always
Q: Do you write every day? How many hours per day?A: I write a lot and I fly fish a lot. A wholesome combination. When I write...6 to 10 hours a day. You know, if you're on a roll, stay there.
Q: Do you ever get writer's block? If so, how do you deal with that?A: That's the fun of it. When you think your way through a problem. And each time you rewrite it, it gets better.
Q: What's your background? Have you written any other screenplays or television scripts?A: I owned a mid-sized ad agency and I was the write for campaigns in most instances. Right now I have 14 full length scripts and 3 television pilots and weekly episodes.
Q: Do you live in Los Angeles? If not, do you have any plans to move there?A: Irvine, just south of LA
Q: What's next? Are you working on a new script?A: Always a new script. Idea are always. I think if I won the lottery two weeks in a row, I would still write every day. It's past being a hobby, it's a passion now.
