Our process for writing dialogue is begins with outlining the story. Once that is done we imagine the characters and begin filling in jokes and dialogue in their voice. We pass the script back and forth rewriting, until we are happy with the pace/tone/clarity/and humor of the dialogue. We also do read throughs with professional actors between rewrites so we can hear it out loud and see if we are happy with it. We did about 7 different drafts over the span of a little over a year before we locked the script and were ready to film.

Tips for Writers: Try to make sure your dialogue is as snappy and entertaining as possible. If something feels dull and doesn't add to the enjoyment of the script, it probably shouldn't be there.

Author:Tim Day

Bio: I've written projects for Dimension Films (Hellraiser: Hellseeker and Hellraiser: Deader, Pulse and Halloween), Jerry Bruckheimer (Aftershock), Roland Emmerich/Sony (untitled Atlantis Project), Lionsgate (You’ve Been Warned/James Patterson novel adaptation), A Bigger Boat (Dark Corners). Bloodlist Alum. I focus on character-based psychological thrillers, horror, and action. I love compressed timelines that create pressure-cooker internal and external conflict simultaneously that forces my characters to reveal who they truly are.
I read a lot of screenplays, breaking down and studying the rhythm of the dialogue and combine that with an ear I've learned to tune by observing everyone and everything around me. But what it's really come down to over the years is learning that you really have to drill down into your characters and know them inside and out, what they want, what they need, and most importantly, what they're afraid of.

Tips for Writers: Get to know your characters inside and out, what they've lived, what's hurt them in the past, how they saw their life going compared to where their lives are now, how they look at the world and walk through it. What their defense mechanisms are, their triggers. That will make them stand out as individual, breathing characters and make their dialogue pop as something only they could say. I take each of my characters to therapy, I ask questions and the characters answer within the world of the story, and I'll just let that flow for five to ten pages for each character until I start to see them sitting across from me, and then I know who each character is, or more importantly, wants to be.

Author:Christine Oliva-Castillo

Bio: In my roles as a government coordinator and screenplay writer, I am passionately committed to creating real change for those suffering with substance abuse and mental health disorders. Through a blend of action, advocacy, and storytelling my work aims to educate on the nuances of treatment and healing, the urgency of addressing core issues and systemic deficiencies, and the importance of honoring the humanity of those needing help.
The core of my ability to create vivid characters lies in an empathetic approach to writing, one that delves deep into the spectrum of human emotions. I prioritize understanding the psychological complexities and emotional journeys that my characters undergo. By exploring their fears, desires, and motivations, I'm able to bring a sense of authenticity and relatability to their narratives. This not only demands a keen observation of the world around me but also a constant reflection on the myriad ways individuals react and interact with their circumstances. Through this nuanced exploration of emotional depth the characters come alive, with their triumphs and tribulations echoing the human experience.

Tips for Writers: When it comes to breathing life into characters, my top tip for other writers is to embrace the full spectrum of human emotions. Characters should reflect the complexities of real people, which means understanding their psychology and the multitude of factors that shape their actions and reactions. Spend time with your characters, get to know their backstories, even if they don’t make it onto the page. Ask yourself what they fear, what they desire, and why. Give them contradictions, because human beings are rarely consistent. The more you know your characters, the more authentically they'll speak and act, and the more they'll resonate with your audience.

I'm a screenwriting teacher but also I'm a scholar. I love studying storytelling, and different methods and approaches. It's a never ending learning process for me.

Tips for Writers: 1) There is no plot driven or character driven story. Every story must have at the center a character that we empathize with. 2) Character creation is vital. I use the Thesaurus from Ackerman / Puglisi a lot 3) Archetypal behavior is basic but rooted in our psyche. 4) Think in terms of action / reaction and setup / delivery is what make a script solid and structured. 5) Every scene must have a conflict and one of the two: something new for the audience or something new for the character. If both it's best.

Author:Graham Lee

Bio: Graham Lee grew up in a whirlpool of Northern California countercultures. His nomadic childhood was spent backstage at Grateful Dead concerts, in drum circle gatherings, clown camps, goddess festivals, and roaming the eclectic streets of Santa Cruz. Living in constant tumult and being the perpetual new kid on the block, Graham found his home in his imagination, approaching the world with the openness and curiosity of an astronaut exploring a new planet and interpreting it with his pen or through the lens of his video camera. "I truly believe Graham Lee was born to make film," said David Moessinger, Executive Producer of Walker Texas Ranger. "With him, it's a compulsion. If he were locked in solitary confinement and given a camera, he'd do an epic about cockroaches." Graham's screenplay, Reno Drifters, was recognized by the CineStory Foundation, Scriptapalooza, and the Scriptation Showcase. He wrote and directed the ultra-low-budget feature film All Roads Lead to Occidental, which premiered at the Sacramento International Film Festival in 2014. His short film, Reflections, was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2016 Playhouse West Film Festival. Three of his other shorts, Vengeance is a Laugh (2011), Whitmore (2012), and Counterpart (2013), were winners at the MMTB (Movie Making Throughout the Bay Area) Director's Challenge. In addition, Graham has worked as a screenwriter for Standing Bear Productions, collaborating with Afghan author Hamid Naweed on adapting his short story, Let's Walk Together, into a feature-length war drama.
To be honest, I don't feel qualified to comment on how I scored well in "originality." The true answer is probably way beyond my depth as the filmic equivalent of a wandering minstrel. However, when it comes to this script specifically, there are a couple of factors that may have contributed to its perceived originality: 1. Not being precious: The initial seed of the idea for this film literally came from my brother and me wandering around a Spirit Halloween store, goofing around with a mullet wig, beer helmet, and ammo belt while improvising the character of Dick Dickman. At the end of the day, on some level, making a movie is just playing make-believe, and I think carrying this spirit of lighthearted play through the whole writing process freed me to explore some areas I might not have if I had taken it "seriously." 2. Trusting my curiosity: By focusing on a question I was deeply interested in finding answers to, I found myself on a fun personal and intellectual crusade. This crusade led me through the relevant decades of U.S. history, to the prophetic ideas of Marshall McLuhan, to epic and narrative poetry, to various books of literary criticism, to the fall of the Roman empire. The salient takeaway is that I was committed to finding a way to tell this story in a way that resonated with my passion and interests rather than trying to follow a template or create something that would appeal to various key demographics.

Tips for Writers: My paradoxical advice is not to take any advice from myself or anyone else too seriously. I feel that originality is a powerful currency that comes more from your perspective and the way you combine and interpret ideas and experience than from re-inventing the wheel in some profound way. To me, having a perspective in writing is the ability to articulate the way you experience your story and idea rather than being paralyzed by the perspective of people in positions of power and authority. They may have valuable things to say, so listen, but take it all with a grain of salt. Having an interesting perspective comes from being an interesting person, so embrace life and all it has to offer! If you can, travel, wander the streets at night in the rain, meditate in the desert, chase flying saucers, climb temples, love passionately, and never stop reading!
