The next writer of the week goes to another Oscar nominated writer, Taylor Sheridan. His newest movie, “Hell or High Water,” has been nominated for Best Original Screenplay. Taylor is a fairly new writer in Hollywood, and is only known for his other hit, “Sicario.” It’s an amazing movie if you haven’t seen it. Prior to writing, Taylor had a career as a TV actor in shows like “Veronica Mars” and “Sons of Anarchy.”
Here are a few questions from the interview:
“What was the initial spark of inspiration for this script?”
“How important is it for you craft these important topical and existential messages into a genre film?”
“Do you feel like your background as an actor makes you focus on character over plot?”
