As for working with Bryan, I would be an idiot if I looked back at what I have come through and not learned that it was that collaboration that made me the writer I am. I will always go back to the source. The best way I can describe the process with Bryan is that he is directing the film from the time it is being written. I do a draft, run it by Bryan, do another Draft, run it by Bryan. Each of us is intense in our convictions.
Concession is the key to any collaboration.
If you need it done your way, do it yourself. When the script is finished, we submit it. The world is filled with movies shot before the script was done. You do not write to eat. You write to tell a good story.
