Screenwriters
Screenwriters are people who write scripts for films and television shows. Just about anyone can be a screenwriter if they know how to write a script. This is how some of the most known script writers started out with regular jobs while trying to write scripts on the side. Today a lot of screenwriters also produce and direct their own work, other screenwriters are also known actors, Ben Affleck for exam
Karen McCullah
Karen is an american screenwriter and novelist. She was born in the Phillippines where her father had been assigned with the united states navy. She grew up in new jersey and graduated from Indian Hills High School. As a high school student, she had kept a diary called '10 things I hate about Anthony' who was her boyfriend at the time, which let to the title of her 1999 film '10 things I hate about you'.
After 10 things I hate about you became a massive film in the industry, Karen went on to write a screenplay called 'Legally Blonde' in 2001 which was a screen adaption from Amanda Brown's novel, and later in 2006 she wrote She's the Man, a screen adaption of William Shakespeare's play 'Twelfth Night, or What You Will'.
Here is the opening scene of 10 things I hate about you, this in a way links to my story, although in many ways different because the main character has locked herself away from love where my character has locked herself away from feeling happy.
Robert Rodat
Robert was born in 1953 in New Hampshire, USA, he is known to be a writer and producer. He is most known for his work 'Saving Private Ryan' which was made in 1998, 'Thor: The Dark Night' made in 2013 and 'The Patriot' made in 2000.
This is the opening scene for Saving Private Ryan, even though this film is not about someone feeling lost in the world, the character Ryan is lost and people have to try and find him and help him, this in a way links to my story because Charlotte is lost in the world and people want to try and help her so she can find herself yet again.
I like the story telling that Robert Rodak uses, he has done so many different styles of writing, from Saving Private Ryan, which is an action/drama to Thor which is an action/adventure/fantasy, even though Rodak does different styles of writing, he has a consistency to stick with mostly action.
Aline Brosh McKenna
Aline was born in France but moved to New Jersey with her family, after this she moved to New York to try and seek a job in publishing. While working in New York she did some freelance writing week. A script that she wrote during a six week course screenwriting at New York University, this helped her to get an agent, after this she moved to Los Angeles where she saw many of her screenplays produced.
Aline's first screenplay was in 1999, however she was only a co-writer, this was for Three to Tango, it wasn't until 2006 that she was the main writer on The Devil Wears Prada, and then in 2011 with I Don't Know How She Does It, that she was the writer and executive producer.
This is the fist page from the script The Devil Wears Prada.

Another screenwriter that I did look into but decided not to use was Shonda Rhimes, I felt that her work went well along with my script, the way her stories flow through and the concept behind her scripts, mostly the show Grey's Anatomy, but in the end i decided not to use her, I wanted to research deeper into people who I would not have thought to research instead of using a screen writer that I already knew about.
