Dramatic writing is a complex craft. There is the great loneliness in front of the white and the hectic teamwork of an ongoing production. We writers need permeability to be able to grasp the world in its nuances and contradictions - and at the same time a thick and at the same time a thick skin to survive in the daily "business". Our ideas need free space, but our scripts need structure. Sometimes it takes a lot of words - often it takes none. It always needs discipline. Cinematic writing combines madness and method, and I'm looking forward to learning more about what writing is all about, together with the students at the ifs.
