About Me

My Photo
Scott Myers
I've been a screenwriter since 1987 when Universal Studios bought and produced K-9, a spec script I co-wrote. Other movie credits: Alaska (1996), starring Thora Birch, and Trojan War (1997), starring Jennifer Love Hewitt. Currently, I'm an Executive Producer with Distillery Pictures. In my spare time, I teach screenwriting at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and online through UCLA Extension, receiving the Writer's Program's Outstanding Instructor of the Year award in 2005.

    The story behind Go Into The Story

    Awhile back the night before I started writing my next screenplay, on a whim I asked my three-year-old son if he had any advice. He looked at me with his huge blue eyes and without hesitation said, "Go into the story, and find the animals." I laughed -- pretty funny. Over time, however, I've discovered wisdom in my son's words. As writers, we do, indeed, go into the stories we create. And the animals? How about characters, plot, theme, dialogue, subtext, and all those other mysterious, magical creatures prowling in the jungle of our imaginations?

    I've been an online instructor through UCLA Extension Writer's Program since 2002. This blog is largely in response to students who wanted to continue our conversations about the creative process. I offer it as a resource to them and any other aspiring writer, especially those interested in screenwriting and the magic of movies.

    So let's go into the story... and find the animals!
