And we are obviously continuing to do so even today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I really believe that through the stories we tell ourselves, through the stories we tell each other through our art and all the mediums of art, we&#8217;re actually impacting what is possible for the human race, for human culture, and in all, its incredible diversity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Little History\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So today I want to talk about one thing that I&#8217;m super passionate about, which is how do I go from being a novelist to being a screenplay writer, but more importantly to making film. and making movies and actually my passion is TV and episodic storytelling. So telling stories in a TV series. As you listen to this, I&#8217;ll be on the verge of starting filming for my very first short film, which is a short story or a story that is based on my heroine, Henrietta The Dragon Slayer. This is a book one in a trilogy. And I am so proud of this series for so many reasons so proud of my trilogy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And of the story that we&#8217;re going to be filming, and I have big plans for more stories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it&#8217;s a long time coming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I actually wrote the script that we are filming just a small part of&#8230; I wrote it seven years ago, I believe, according to the records I keep. And I got help with a screenplay teacher. I got critique and feedback and notes from various other writers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even before I wrote this seven years ago, I actually had been daydreaming about putting Henrietta The Dragon Slayer on the screen. And gosh, that was,17 years ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the Henrietta The Dragon Slayer stories, I actually sat down and started writing this book. Henrietta The Dragon Slayer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where Henrietta The Dragon Slayer Came From <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I started writing. It 20 years ago or 20? Yeah, 20 years ago. But I actually came up with a story idea, like that would have been 35 years ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I wrote this first story when I was 19. I have a girl about to go on an adventure, a heroic person. She was Henrietta The Dragon Slayer, even then.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now when I was a child, when I was a girl, I would read these great fairy tales, folklore. I read tons. That was the first things I read on my own at seven years old.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I noticed it was always the boy going on an adventure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jack and the Beanstalk. And then there&#8217;s a whole other like Jack, the giant killer. Jack in the Seven Giants. And of course, many others. Always a boy going on adventure, doing heroic, scary things. And I was like, where&#8217;s the girl? I was brought up in a family where I was told men and women are equal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I was like, I don&#8217;t see it. I don&#8217;t see it in my stories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that is where the seed came from is being told one thing, but not finding it in my stories. And this would have been in the early seventies. So thankfully many things have changed. There are many more women going on adventures. Thank God for that. But there&#8217;s still, we still need more. I still want to do so much more and bring this story out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First I had to learn how to write novels, which was not easy. And then when I decided I actually wanted to start trying my hand at script writing, I was stumped in many ways because there are some mechanical things, mechanics of writing, that I was like, what? how do I do this? and so I was going to today just talk about a few of those things that I&#8217;ve learned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, I also want to give a huge shout-out to where did I learn how to get this far.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reel Stories, Summer Film Camp<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of the genesis of me being here today, working on my very first short film is that I, by chance, about eight years ago, nine years ago, heard about a film camp, a summer camp here in Oakland. I live in Oakland, California, a film camp called Reel Stories that is designed to teach girls and non-binary people how to make a film in five days, I&#8217;m not kidding you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And they also have a camp to make a film in two weeks, in 10 days. So I was just so intrigued by this and I thought, wow, I have to be involved. I found out I could be a volunteer. I&#8217;m like, what do I have? I write fiction. I teach fiction. Let me see how I can be involved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And they&#8217;re like, sure, come on in. So basically I was an adult there helping things run on time, really, but all the campers, all the filmmakers, they&#8217;re making everything. They hold the camera, they write the script.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They do the slate. They do everything.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the adults in the room are just like, okay, you need to get XYZ done by a certain time. And I just put myself in the environment so that I could be of support and be an adult volunteer, but also, so I could learn, and learn I did.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if these teens can make a movie in five days, then it gave me confidence that I could figure this out and learn what I needed to learn. And with today&#8217;s technology, YouTube, learning so much on YouTube. yeah, it&#8217;s incredible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I&#8217;m not making this movie by myself. I am making this movie with a crew of people who are people who work at Reel Stories. And also now Reel Stories as part of Bay Area Video Coalition. Some of the people I&#8217;ve brought in are from Bay Area Video Coalition. Some of the people on my crew were campers were learned film and did amazing things there. And some came in afterwards after having done film school. And some learned cause they were just around it and on the job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I should say also Bay Area Video Coalition is my fiscal sponsor for this film.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number One And Two Lessons Learned\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What have I learned?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number one: if you want to go learn something, go volunteer. That was a great experience. Now not everyone can do that. I say use YouTube. And then I just started writing scripts. And I did it in a short burst about 15 minutes at a time while I was having a life and doing other things. And it was a bit of a palate cleanser between novels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I thought it would be making this episode be about like, what are some of the technical things. That I&#8217;ve had to learn how to do as a scriptwriter. As a screenplay writer that I didn&#8217;t have to think about as a novelist. But I have changed my mind. I don&#8217;t have anything ready for that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Film<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead. I&#8217;m going to really hone in on why I&#8217;m gravitating to making films, and really. short film right now and episodic television is the dream. And that is because I love the collaborative process. And I want to bring in other people&#8217;s ideas for how the story could be told.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I wasn&#8217;t super conscious. It wasn&#8217;t super conscious about this until I really started working on this film last fall, but film and TV has a higher visibility profile than novels. More people tend to see TV and film than read books.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Books are super impactful. And I noticed that the visual medium- we&#8217;ve become just so hyper-focused. We&#8217;ve become a culture very heavily influenced by TV and film. I even see it in the writers I work with. They will do certain things that I know are influenced by TV and film, but that don&#8217;t quite work on the page for fiction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I could say the biggest difference between working on a script that&#8217;s going to be a film versus working on pros, that&#8217;s going to be a novel is that in fiction you have the opportunity to show inner thought right there on the page. You can reveal what the character is thinking and feeling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And a script.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can&#8217;t do that too much. You can imply it by the words you choose and you can pepper, or I should say sprinkle salt., I guess, pepper your script with perspective from one of your characters but you cannot be too much interior. You have to show, write a sentence that shows attitude or feeling. It&#8217;s a visual medium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So there&#8217;s a lot of subtraction when you go from fiction from prose over to script. And I would say scripts rely heavily on not just description cause that&#8217;s boring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s important, but it&#8217;s only part.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you want is action. As you want movement because it&#8217;s moving image. That&#8217;s film as it&#8217;s a moving image, not a static image.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how does that translate? By writing sentences with active verbs. You&#8217;re gonna create a picture in the reader&#8217;s eyes, people who read your script. What&#8217;s happening? The director of photography can look at that. Oh, we can move the camera this way&#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you can have a camera go panoramic across a scene and get a sense of a sweeping panorama of the countryside. The camera is moving over the landscape and that can give us a feeling that is not in the script. You don&#8217;t need to write that feeling. You could just say actually, we&#8217;re not supposed to do camera directions and scripts anymore, but, I would say something like:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The whole Sonoma Valley was lit up with the morning sun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right. I just give a picture. The whole Sonoma Valley was lit up with the morning sun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I decided, ah, or a filmmaker like, oh, we need to put a camera up at this high location, or we need a drone to film the whole valley.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better still: The whole Sonoma Valley lit golden by the morning sun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right. So those are just some examples of the way I&#8217;ve learned to switch from prose writing for fiction to script writing for screenplays. And I will probably come back with some more tips as I get more conversant in this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About Beth&#8217;s Film: Henrietta The Dragon Slayer <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you&#8217;re at all interested in learning more about my film, which is called Henrietta, The Dragon Slayer, I invite you to go to Henrietta The Dragon Slayer.com.
