Susan Everett came in to talk to us about screenwriting and her life in general, as soon as she started talking i knew she was going to be a great speaker, she gave us the talk of what she did through her life, facts about her, helpful tips and just spoke to us with confidence and humour. She was very easy to listen too and i took a lot away from the talk.
She made points of entering competitions don't loose hope, keep trying, know your field etc... It was refreshing to have someone talk to you who you actually believed and wasn't there to just big up themselves.
A main point Susan made was to do research, dig under the surface and find out about your subject and the people in your area. Find out how stuff works instead of waiting to be taught, get out there, do it, go see, also find people you can trust and like to help you along the way.
Don't waste time really.
For me she has probably been the best talker we've had, honest, funny and down to earth and i respect her for that.
I'll keep with me for life the sentence she said - 'Imagine people as onions'
...so many layers :')
ha true.
Unfortunately i cant find a video of her work on youtube she showed us but i especially liked the litte details in it, you can tell she's passionate about getting her story across and creating twists in peoples minds. From the beginning of the film i could tell the girl was nuts, she had that crazy eyes about her, very well acted. All in all a great talk and she had great advice.
