The Importance of a Singular Voice in Writing

EPISODE 54 - ED SOLOMON - Writer

Team Deakins talks with writer Ed Solomon, (MEN IN BLACK, BILL & TED's EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, NOW YOU SEE ME 2), in this episode. We learned a lot about the craft of writing! Ed talks about the differences in writing for TV and features, writing on spec versus adapting material, writers block, and how his script of the original Bill and Ted changed his career. He also shares the experiences of working with Gary Shandling, making writing "actable", loving the blank page and writing for Steven Soderbergh. He speaks openly on all aspects of writing which makes this a very interesting episode!
