Arthur is Ticked Off

Arthur test 01 from Andrew Bellware on Vimeo.

Arthur here is trying to find out where they're holding auditions at Theatresource. We're kind of glad he didn't make it -- he's a yeller. One time he broke a chair.

Sometimes when writing you should just go ahead and have all the damn characters say all their subtext. If it's the difference between them not saying a darn thing or saying everything right on the nose, just go ahead and have them say it on the nose and fix it later.

For instance, I got to complete my "to do" list today by making a bunch of bad dialog. But ultimately the screenplay is better for it. Hooray for me!

My lawyer says we have to protect ourselves: note that we're constantly developing screenplays, we probably have a screenplay like what you suggest in development. Furthermore, if you suggest an idea for a screenplay you're giving us that idea.
