▌STW ▌The Story Department's Best of the Web Roundup, 4/25

The Story Department has rounded up some story bits that will MAKE YOU BETTER!


3 years apart...

Browse through to see what suits you, but peep this piece of juicy on starting a revolution in storytelling. I'm prolly attracted to it after seeing Death At A Funeral.... I don't feel compelled to share anything bad or good about the flick itself, so I'll abstain from saying anything at all, except show you picture and beg and plead this: People of melanin and all you latent writers, you--CREATE THE CINEMA! GET ME WOKE!

This comes from Julie Gray at JustEffingEntertainMe.com (she betta PREACH!):
Don’t even try to go there and deny that a terrible fog of mediocrity is hanging over Hollywood. And it’s choking the art form of cinema to death. The worst part is that the mediocrity is self-generated because I tell you right now that I see some great scripts and really fresh ideas come from aspiring writers from all over the world. But these scripts don’t make it into the right hands. There is an industry around keeping them out and unfortunately that industry is in part fueled by the millions of scripts that pour into Hollywood each day that were written hastily by dabblers and pretenders who haven’t bothered to learn a goddamn thing about the industry they flippantly think will pay them loads of money.
