Before You Ask Someone to Read Your Script

You should all, on general principle, read this article:

I Will Not Read Your Fucking Script

It gives insight into a professional's view of amateur writers.

  1. Read the article. Some good points were made by both Olson and some of the people who left comments. That's all I'll say.

  2. Well, Olson makes some good points. I understand having a lot on your plate and not being up to reading something your friend's boyfriend slopped on some paper.

    However, looking at Olson's resume, it doesn't really warrant him having a head the size of LA. With the exception of A History of Violence, all of his films are frighteningly awful.

    And I'd be curious to know how Olson got his "break".
