Your “Values” as an Artist
Soulless art…
Would you sell your soul for fame and money?
Recently, I’ve been reconsidering all the screenwriting advice I got from seasoned writers, producers, and filmmakers in Hollywood.
Michael Jamin keeps saying, “LOOK LIKE A BAG OF MONEY, and Hollywood will come to you.”
There’s a book titled, “Steal like an artist.”
There are many screenwriting articles that state, “Every screenwriter should be a creative thief.”
WHY?!
Because they want so-called “art” that makes them a ton of money.
Money is the only thing that they want.
If you look like a bag of money, meaning you have successfully stolen a concept from a successful movie or show, and you have recycled it in a way that not many people can tell, then you can sell your project.
Then by attaching a big celebrity to the project, which is literally called “packaging” in Hollywood, you can reach to the masses and make millions, if not billions, of dollars.
