EURO #Scriptchat TOPIC: Your goals and the lessons you learned in 2010 .
USA #Scriptchat TOPIC: Screenwriter of MACHETE, Alvaro Rodriguez @alrodz
What better way to wind down the year than to discuss the progress made and the lessons learned? EURO chat was full of wisdom and advice. It’s been amazing watching all of our writers grow and learn from each other.
At USA chat, we had guest Alvaro Rodriguez @alrodz taking questions from our chatters ranging from where his big break came from to how he handles the insecurities of being a writer… don’t we all wish that was a simple question to answer J Al also shared with us the lessons he learned in 2010 and so much more. Read on and… Enjoy! @jeannevb

1:06 am jakestetler: Checking in with #scriptchat. Have to say that Machete was one of my favorite action flicks this year. Drink of choice: Tito's & tonic.
1:06 am alrodz: Insecurity comes with the the territory. It's not really about writing without it, but writing with it and being challenged #scriptchat
1:06 am tracinell: Time for #scriptchat via my phone :( #scriptchat
1:07 am AndiWritesAgain: RT @alrodz: Thanks to @writeononline for the great interview! http://bit.ly/eIDtVx #scriptchat

1:08 am alrodz: But Machete was a long time in development, since before GRINDHOUSE had been released... really evolved as actors came on board #scriptchat
1:08 am AndiWritesAgain: @alrodz How long'd it take to write. #scriptchat
1:08 am WellScripted: Q) @alrodz... What movie first lead you to think "Hey, I wanna do that as a career?" (#ScriptChat)

1:09 am nobull408: @alrodz Thanks for answering about creative collaboration. I'm developing a TV pilot and my co writer and I keep disagreeing. #scriptchat
1:09 am jeannevb: @alrodz how many years from writing it until the green light? #scriptchat
1:09 am Jonathan_Peace: @alrodz Q (and no offence meant, sir) but does having a successful brother help/hinder your own writing? (in similar situation) #scriptchat
1:09 am Spitfire_King: #scriptchat @alrodz Q. When you write, do you write with shooting digital in mind and what is possible in the digital realm?
1:09 am alrodz: @WritersWithCats Love drive-ins--last movies I saw at a drive-in (now defunct) doublefeature of NATL BORN KILLERS/PULP FICTION #scriptchat
1:09 am grumblecore: So will there be a sequel? Maybe a Machete Western, to make a bad pun. #scriptchat

1:13 am jeannevb: @alrodz do you use a beat sheet or outline or write commando? #scriptchat
1:13 am sdarancette: @alrodz @alrodz NUN WITH A GUN - "She's in the habbit... of KICKING ASS!" #scriptchat
1:13 am princess_scribe: Q: What do you think is different re#screenwriting - writing dialog/story for specific actors? #scriptchat
1:14 am alrodz: @TieMachine Loved Bierce from reading Owl Creek Bridge in 9th grade. Intrigued by the myth of his disappearance. Inspiration! #scriptchat
1:14 am Jonathan_Peace: @alrodz Damn! Nuns With Guns was going to be a script I was planning to wrte. LOL Have written a Grindhouse called Bubble-Butt. #scriptchat

1:16 am Tiemachine: @alrodz Wondered if it might be Owl Creak? Twilight Zone version still creeps me out! Have you considered transmedia stories? #scriptchat
1:17 am alrodz: @princess_scribe writing with a sense of the actor helps. Definitely the case with DeNiro and Don Johnson. Informed the writing #scriptchat
1:17 am jbonnell: Nuns with Guns.. well, close. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1352388/ Yes, I've actually seen this (they were looking for distro.) #scriptchat
