Job Description:
Screenwriters write film scripts – and rewrite them when asked. The original idea might be their own, or be given to them by a producer who has a rough outline for a story they’d like written. Or a screenwriter might be asked to adapt a story that already exists in another form, such as a novel, short story or play. Screenwriters work closely with script editors, who are employed by film companies to liaise with screenwriters who are working on scripts for them. Script editors provide feedback, make requests for changes and ensure that drafts are delivered on time.

His debut film in screenplay writing was Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998, and has made many more since then. ‘My principal job is to make interesting and entertaining films, and I’m not proud of which format or which particular technique I use. I just wanted the film to look good’. He is a an auteur who takes control on most aspects of a film, however I will be focussing on screenplay writing.
