Interviews: Red Inkworks Screenwriter's Competition

MovieBytes Interview:
Screenwriter Eric Carlson

An interview with screenwriter Eric Carlson regarding the Red Inkworks Writing Competition.

Q: What's the title of the script you entered in this contest, and what's it about?

A: Daniel's Inferno

After spending one day in Hell, a down on his luck used car salesman gets 24 hours back on Earth to reconnect with his family and fix his life - all under the watchful eye of his ditzy guardian angel.

Q: What made you enter this particular contest? Have you entered any other contests with this script? If so, how did you do?

A: Larry Myles runs a great contest. He provides some of the best in depth and constructive feedback of any contest out there.

Daniel's Inferno did place in the Mountain Film Festival, and I'm waiting for results from a few other contests.

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: Very satisfied! Larry obviously read my script cover to cover and then clearly and concisely provided an in-depth analysis of my scripts strengths and weaknesses. I consider Red Ink Works a must enter contest for me. I hope I have something ready for his next one!

He always meets his deadlines, and although there are no physical awards, the strength of his analysis is what I sought...and received.

He also stays in touch throughout the year and provides publicity through his website. In fact, I received a query from a production company through Larry less than a week after he released his results.

Q: How long did it take you to write the script? Did you write an outline beforehand? How many drafts did you write?

A: I went through about 8 drafts in 8 months before I sent it to Red Ink Works, and I completed another using Larry's notes.

I outlined the major plot points before I started, but those were revised as I revised the script.

Q: What kind of software did you use to write the script, if any? What other kinds of writing software do you use?

A: I only use Word. I've used it for so long that I just know the format, including where all the margins should be set.

Q: Do you write every day? How many hours per day?

A: I write everyday, but the hours vary. I probably average six hours.

Q: Do you ever get writer's block? If so, how do you deal with that?

A: Sure, doesn't everyone!

I just watch a couple of movies to get motivated again.

Q: What's your background? Have you written any other screenplays or television scripts?

A: I've probably written 10 or 11 during the past 15 years. No formal training, but I do enjoy writing screenplays. Movies have always fascinated me.

Q: Do you live in Los Angeles? If not, do you have any plans to move there?

A: I do not live in Los Angeles, but I will go where any projects might take me.

Q: What's next? Are you working on a new script?

A: I'm currently working on a script about Bette Davis which is based on a true story.
