A couple of weeks ago, we featured a seriously random list here -- Demonstrating the Importance of Directors by Highlighting the Failures of Screenwriters -- that was inspired by Peter Hanson's documentary, Tales from the Script, a thought-provoking doc that examines, through interviews with screenwriters, the scriptwriting process and how a screenplay morphs on its way to the big screen. What we came away with was the perception that even the most successful screenwriter often has no control over the finished product.
Writer/Director Peter Hanson was nice enough to submit to an email interview with us and eloquently discuss his documentary, his thoughts on the screenwriting process, and the role -- ultimately -- of the screenwriter in the development of the film.
To get the ball rolling, can you provide some information on your background, what you do, and what makes you an expert in the art of screenwriting?...
