| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome. |
| 0:03.3 | My name is John August, and you are listening to Script Notes. |
| 0:06.2 | This is a podcast about screenwriting and things that are interesting to screenwriters. |
| 0:09.9 | I love talking to screenwriters about their experience getting their first movies made |
| 0:13.5 | because it's the difference between writing a script and actually creating a movie. |
| 0:18.1 | So last year we had Justin Kritsky's on to talk about his experience with |
| 0:21.4 | challengers and queer back-to-back with director Luca Guadernino. Today we're here talking with |
| 0:26.3 | Nora Garrett, the first-time writer of Guadino's current movie After the Hunt. Welcome Nora. |
| 0:31.6 | Hi, thanks for having me. I'm so excited to talk to you because I think one of the reasons why |
| 0:35.2 | I love this as an example. So we have so many listeners who are working on their scripts. They're aspiring writers. They've written some scripts, but they've never gotten a thing made. And so that transition point between, like, these are all the words I have on paper, and this is a movie that's actually existing in theaters. Just talking through that process gives people a sense of the journey. and Craig and I could talk about it and sort of our experiences, but like that's not |
| 0:58.2 | I'm not just talking through that process gives people a sense of the journey and Craig and I could talk |
| 0:55.5 | about it and sort of our experiences but like that's not what happens in 20 to 25 and you have just |
| 1:00.4 | gone through this process yes that is true and I'm sure there were moments there were great and |
| 1:05.9 | moments that were surprising and um fantastic and also terrifying yeah oh I mean there were so many moments of, of like, abject terror that I felt like I was just in a complete state of disassociation, watching myself go through it and be like, be cool, relax. Yes. But yeah, and it happened really fast. So it's interesting to sort of be on the on the back end of it now looking back. |
| 1:27.7 | Cool. |
| 1:46.5 | So I want to talk about your journey as a writer, sort of getting up to this point, getting this in the hands of a director who actually made your movie with Julie Robert starring. And because we have the actual script in front of us, I want to talk a little bit about sort of the words on the page and your experience writing those words, but then seeing like, oh, there's actual actors have to do these things and that whole process. |
| 1:46.9 | Yes. And revisionisions probably the most revisions |
| 1:48.8 | you can also imagine i saw from the cover page you went to double white so you went all the way |
| 1:53.0 | through the colors yeah uh-huh we sure did and we'll also answer some listener questions |
| 1:59.3 | and then in our bonus segment for premium members i want to talk about day jobs because until very recently you had a day job, you know, doing other things. And I want to talk about sort of what your experience has been trying to have an identity as the person who is a screenwriter and a filmmaker and an actor, but also the day job of it all. |
| 2:18.3 | Of course. |
| 2:18.7 | Cool. |
