Film School Confidential: CHARACTER DEVELOPEMENT

9. February 2012 by Palle Schmidt

I’m attending The National Film School of Denmark these days, studying screenwriting in a 1-year Master Class. This new topic “Film School Confidential” is my idea of taking notes; sharing what I learn with you! The structure of movies has seeped in to a lot of other genres, books, comics, computer games. So I recommend […]

Working methods: MAKING TROUBLE

18. January 2012 by Palle Schmidt

Here’s something I picked up at the first week of Film School. Something that didn’t make me feel too good about myself. You see, storytellers are actually sadists. As a writer, you have to want to torment your characters. You have to want to throw them to the wolves, have them bombarded with all kinds of […]

On the move: BACK TO SCHOOL

7. December 2011 by Palle Schmidt

It’s official; I have been accepted to the Danish Film School screenwriting master class. So next year will be pretty busy… I posted this news to Facebook yesterday and got over a hundred “likes”. So it seems there are people out there who appreciate my efforts to break from the artist to writer side of things. Not […]

Working Methods: COMMIT

18. November 2011 by Palle Schmidt

I’m a great believer in the power of commitment. If you want to quit smoking, tell 10 people you are quitting, people you respect. The chance of succes is much greater, if failure means you have to face your peers and admit you didn’t follow through. Want to get your book written? Your graphic novel done? Promise someone important […]
