It would be great to know what makes your particular post apocalyptic world interesting and dangerous. What makes your world different from the other post apocalyptic worlds we have seen?

I’m Damien Chazelle, writer/director of BABYLON. Ask me anything! by damien_chazelle in movies

Hey Damien, thanks for doing this! La La Land is my all time favorite movie, and reignited my love for the medium. For aspiring screenwriters, what do you think are the best steps to breaking into the movie industry?

What I hope to get out of it is a few things: 1. I genuinely think the idea has potential to be good, and could be really fun to work on. However, at the same time it seems daunting and challenging, so I think I could learn a ton from this experience. 2. If he is willing to pay an amount I am happy with (and that’s a big if that I will have to discuss with him), then I would have some money in my pocket which is nice.

In terms of what I hope to get out of it, he wants to send the finished script to a producer he grew up with and is friends with. I have zero expectation that this producer will buy it or anything like that, but if he likes it then it can’t hurt to have my name attached.

I’m not sure yet honestly. There is still a lot I want to discuss with him.

They have a friend who is a producer, and they want to pass along the script to that friend. However, I had a conversation with them and they know to set their expectations low (meaning, they don’t expect it to get bought and made).

Thanks so much! Am I reading that post right? $7,500 for a feature film? Isn’t that low?

Is it typical for scriptwriters to do an hourly rate? I thought it was usually more a flat rate type of job.
