So I just put that script aside and then in the process of doing this video about... first acts, like I go, oh, now I know what's missing. And I went back and I rewrote the whole first act of that story. Now it works.

Like, I don't know if I'm ever going to go back to that script because it was so long ago, but it is interesting how just studying, studying, studying storytelling and story, you know, it's very humbling and it always makes you a little bit better. There's always more stuff to learn, always more stuff to learn.

Well, I would say that script is probably like eight or nine in line in terms of like things that I want to make. So, you know what? Actually, I won't say it's probably fifth or sixth.

Yeah. I mean, I'm at the point where I have more scripts than I'm going to have time to make into movies. And it's helpful. I was just saying, working as a script doctor, I went out and they gave me the script and I read it. And I was like, oh, based on the fact that I've been obsessing about first acts for the last couple of months, I know exactly how to fix a script.

Yeah, I think that writers tend to be kind of seen as disposable. You know, you can bring different writers in that have different strengths for things. After I wrote Little Miss Sunshine and then especially after Toy Story 3, I was working at Pixar and Disney Theater Animation was bringing scripts up to Pixar and screening them.

And also some Disney live action films were being brought up to Pixar. And they would screen the films and then we'd have a big story meeting and we'd talk and I was very vocal. I have lots of opinions about how stories should be told. So based on that, I started getting hired to come in and do a week or two of work on a script.

So script doctoring is... A lot of times, the script is... You can be writing... The script is about to go into production, or you're writing reshoots. So they've already shot the script. You're going to watch the whole rough cut of the film and go, oh, this story needs to be fixed here or there. So...

And usually you're brought in for, it can be one week, it could be two weeks, it could be three weeks. On Catching Fire, Catching Fire was actually a script doctoring job. So I was brought in for four weeks. So I did four weeks of work. And most of the time you don't get any credit for it. Most of the time you're just working kind of anonymously
