Came here after watching Killer of the flower moon's trailer. I knew I've seen her somewhere. I was right.😎

WELCOME LILY! Anyone else find her presence so calming?

[bartzrt]

Finally, somebody speaks at a normal pace that's easy to follow!

[Krustenkaese]

I really like this host. She has a great narrative voice.

[Theorak]

This was the most calmy presented Crash Course in a while, I like it!

I feel like I'm going to love this series. I'm a Romanian film student looking to become a screenwriter, and seeing Lily mention one of our movies (The Death of Mr. Lazarescu) next to Brokeback Mountain made me extremely happy.

I also find it very inspiring that she's the one presenting an otherwise fairly male-dominated field. It helps me believe that one day I can write my own films wihout having to worry about being a female screenwriter. Thanks, Lily!

I'm thrilled that Lily Gladstone is hosting this series. I thought her acting in "Certain Women" was absolutely excellent.

Yo this is the same Lily from Killers of the Flower Moon!?!?🤯 congratulations to her👏👏

If you're reading this and it happens that you're working out on your first screenplay, always remember this quote:

“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.”
— Louis L’Amour

I have no academic background in film or media, and it has nothing to do with my work, but these Crash Course series on film history and film production are fantastic! Over the last couple of years I've learned to enjoy films not just as a way to stay entertained for 90 minutes, but also as a way to think about philosophy, aesthetics, sound, music and storytelling. Let's hope more people end up joining the audience!

This Lily Gladstone person has a good head on her shoulders, I think she's going places.

It’s 2023 and she’s in a movie with Leo! She made it!

12 years of teaching screenwriting, and I just found this video! It boils it down so simply 😍

Okay, one glance on the comment section and I realize I'm not the only one to find this is the best easy to digest crash course. I feel like I'm gonna love this so much. Thanks Lily!!

[raychweinberg]

I really loved Craig, but I do enjoy Lilly's calm approach. I think this part of the series is going to be just as great as the first!
