There is not one interview with this man that I watch and think he’s rude or arrogant at all, probably one of the kindest, most humble and more importantly most passionate filmmakers currently working. Amazing.

This man gets it. The ending to any given story is the most vital component to the entirety of the complete adventure. Knowing your ending gives you freedom to foreshadow effectively, as well as, rhyme with initial story events that essentially complements the ending. When I come up with an idea, I pretty much construct my entire story around the ending.

I love the interviews with Sean. He has such a humble spirit and such sensitivity.

Sean Baker is now a Palme D'or winner, takes notes everyone... literally!

2:46 Sean talks about knowing the endings of his films. Relevant now with Anora being such a huge hit and having that ending

For me music inspires me to write. I can see the whole story in that one song. It drives me it motivates me to the end. Now with my new project I saw a picture and heard a song that made me start up my current project called " The Praying Circle".

He is a very smart filmmaker, Tangerine is one of my faves.

[CinemaRockPizza]

You see him in this inspirational interview - and years later he wins at Cannes film festival like a pro. Truly a timeline

[larkmacallan]

I think character is the most important. Character flaws will cause your rewrite process to be a major overhaul. Many great films have subpar endings. However a great ending can make an ok film pretty great - the usual suspects comes to mind. Extremely well defined characters that jump off the page is critical. Characters draw us in. Plot can be fixed easily, as can the ending, compared to character work.

i think i made the mistake of not knowing my story completely before i started writting. now working on my second draft, i realise now that i made a lot more work for myself. but before i started it all i had all the characters and i knew where i wanted it to go and i wanted to feel my way through it. I like what p.t. anderson, one of my favorite directors, said about his writting. he said that he likes to let the characters tell him what they want to do and thats what i tried to do with mine screenplay
