Filmmaker One - episode 10
Common First-time Screenwriter Mistakes

In this episode, Bob Gebert and Tracy Evans set out to continue a previous conversation on components of the screenplay.
But the conversation quickly veers away from a no-doubt heady and ponderous discussion of Act Two, to a free-form exchange on flashbacks, dream sequences, orphans, script formatting and brass paper fasteners. Check back next week for the continued examination of the screenplay, with a focus on the Second Act.
Items mentioned:
- Juno
- The Screenwriters Bible
- The Writers Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers
- Prong paper fasteners, brass, 1-1/4 length

Hi,
Can you advise whether or not the Filmmaker One podcast is still going out?
I’ve checked both iTunes and your website but unfortunately cannot find any additional episodes past podcast #10.

David,
Thanks for writing. The short answer is we will be back with plenty more episodes. I posted an update to the blog today with more info.
Screenwriters are authors who write the screenplays from which movies and television programs are made. Screenwriter may do many in mistake shouting time. Studio management may have a complaint that the motivations of the characters are unclear or that the dialogue is weak. Most common mistake of screenwriter is misspellings, bad punctuation, incomplete sentences, and
generally writing like you’re twelve years old.
