Listen to the full episode over on the Beyond the Screenplay Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/beyondthescreenplay/posts/beyond-writes-168200117 With this video we&#39;re trying a different format, and we&#39;d really love to hear your feedback! In this episode, the BTS team attempts to write an original movie pitch in 80 minutes. But we aren&#39;t starting from scratch—we get starting constraints chosen at random (directory, genre, etc.), and every twenty minutes &quot;the studio&quot; shows up and throws us a curveball. The goal with this format is to demonstrate how writers can use the techniques we so often talk about on the podcast...while also having fun and going a little crazy. We&#39;re thinking of this episode as a kind of pilot, and we&#39;d love to hear your honest feedback about it. What worked? What could be more improved upon? And what crazy ideas for curveballs would you like to see in the future?

“Lessons from the Screenplay” creator Michael Tucker and the LFTS team do deeper dives into the storytelling of individual movies and chat with the creatives behind those films.
