First, I just wanted to say sorry it's been a little quiet of late. I had to head home for a couple weeks to be with family, so some things fell through the cracks. Apologies!
But now I'm back and we're going to be recording a new Q&A episode as well as a patron-only episode on Terminator: Dark Fate this week!
So: What question would you like us to answer? / What topic would you like us to discuss?
Let us know in the comments below, and thanks for supporting Beyond the Screenplay :)

What do you think of unconventional screenplays like David Lynch movies like Molholland Dr or Twin Peaks? Is there a limit a screenplay can do when it relies a lot on the visual direction?

2019-11-12 03:19:21 +0000 UTCHi guys! Listening to the episode about The Shinning and rewatching the original YouTube video made me think about something that I find it easy to spot in movies, but hard to define: Atmosphere. I love movies like The Others or even cartoon miniseries like Over The Garden Wall that have amazing atmosphere that draws the viewer in. However, it seems to me like a lot of elements that work to create good atmosphere are more visual in nature and, therefore, a little beyond the screenwriter’s control. What story elements do you believe create a “good atmosphere”? How can a writer achieve that? Thank you so much for your time and your awesome podcast!!
