Pt. III – Wichita Interview

Last updated on: March 22, 2006 at 10:13 am   By Barbara Nicolosi

Q: Aside from formatting and style, what are the most prevalent shortcomings in scripts by Christians? BRN: The biggest shortfall I find in beginning writers – Christians and pagans – is the failure to understand and harness the real power in the screen art form. Anyone who wants to write great movies has to plumb the depths of the multilevel nature of cinema and then begin to exploit the levels to create paradox. The real power to help and heal... Read more

Pt. Wichita Interview

Q: Why is it important for Christians to get their rear-ends to the theater on the opening weekend of a worthwhile film? BRN: Right now, opening weekend is the measuring stick for all of the future investment in a project by the industry. By Sunday morning industry watchers can pretty much tell you how many more prints of the film they are going to strike and distribute, and whether the theater run is going to be expanded to include more... Read more

Pt. I – The Really Long Wichita Interview

Last updated on: March 17, 2006 at 2:18 pm   By Barbara Nicolosi

I was in Wichita recently for some talks and press interviews. One young writer, the enterprising Del Torkelson, set up his tape recorder and then proceeded to ask me to articulate pretty much every thought I’ve ever had in my head! Seriously, it ended up being like 7,500 words. He used some of it in an article, and thenforwarded me the rest of it. I thought I would excerpt it here over the next few days (or weeks…or months!) just... Read more
