You better work on it.īut the best thing that I got there was there's this filmmaker named Karim Aïnouz who is considered part of queer cinema, a Brazilian filmmaker based in Berlin. It's free, but it also means nobody is going to give you the answer. It's interesting, because these are all masters of their craft and you realize nobody knows what the fuck they're doing. In my case, it was a very controversial script, so they were all arguing with each other about it. When you're at the writing lab, you sit with different master writers who have read your script and they go have meetings with each other. In the path from then to now, how have your ideas of these characters changed or evolved at all?īoots Riley: After I published in McSweeney's, the next year I went to the Sundance writing lab.

In 2014, the screenplay was published by McSweeney's, and by early this year, the finished film was one of the most praised out of the Sundance Film Festival.
