Won Oscar for LMS and he should be on the shortlist for nomination for TS-3
Writes a draft for LMS in three days (story / characters in head for a long time)
Rewrites for a year
No one is interested in the script...for five years
The intelligence / foresight of Pixar - they pick him up for Toy Story 3 before the film (Little Miss Sunshine) was made. They read LMS and go for the guy right on. It's amazing when you think about it - a studio that has brilliant writers, they pick-up an amateur. When you see / hear Arndt, you know...he isn't a schmuck.
Taught myself screenwriting for 10 yrs
Easier to have your script read than write
Top writers have more unproduced scripts than produced
Never send a rough script; the best / complete it can be
Best case scenario: 90% failure rate - realistic way to look
Love your characters; No. 1 commitment for screenwriter
Do it for the pleasure of it
