Team Deakins has fun speaking with writer Krysty Wilson Cairns. She and Roger compare times at the National Film School in London and discuss whether writing can actually be taught. Her love of writing comes through strongly and we learn she reads a book a week! She thinks that if a scene doesn’t work on screen, it wasn’t written correctly. Krysty discusses the core tenants of good screenwriting and goes into detail about the importance of collaboration with the director. She admits to stealing the experiences of people around her and not considering the budget when she writes. We had a lot of laughs and learned a lot about writing in this episode!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #teamdeakins #teamdeakinspodcast #rogerdeakins #jamesellisdeakins #jamesdeakins #collaboration #cinematography #KrystyWilsonCairns #screenwriter #writer #screenwriting #1917 #LastNightinSoho #1917 #PennyDreadful #filmmaking #podcast #podcasting #filmpodcast #hollywood
