1077: Michael Arndt | The Oscar-Winning Science of Storytelling

Like it's just very, we have this new problem, which is like we are haunted by our digital selves and haunted by this sort of generalized other that we're performing for. I don't think I've seen a movie yet that sort of addressed that problem and turned it into a story that can be compelling and interesting. Does that answer your question? It sort of does. Yeah.

I mean, it sounds like you have some work to do, my friend. So get on it. But yeah, you're saying that there could be a hero who embodies the values of authenticity in a world where this digital realm is kind of, I don't know, creating an arena, but also destroying us.

Yeah. Rebelling. You're just swimming against the tide of like, if everybody's staring at their screen, everybody's obsessed with their digital selves, right? Then you would just want to create a hero swing against that tide and is privileging the world of atoms over the world of bits, basically.

Totally, totally. I think that, you know, I went to film school. I got out of film school. I want to be a screenwriter. So I want to get jobs where I could read screenplays. And the thing that people, young people know, I think don't appreciate is how difficult it was to find screenplays. Before the internet, screenplays were really hard to get your hands on.

There were vendors in New York that would sell screenplays on the sidewalk because it was just really hard to find screenplays. Now you go on your computer and like every screenplay in the world is available. I got out, I got a job at a production company. Then I moved on and got a job with a producer.

And that producer was working at Columbia Pictures and her job was looking for material for Matthew. So after I moved on from that job, Matthew knew me and hired me to be his assistant. And it was a great job. Matthew's the nicest guy in the world, like best boss in the world. But it was a great job because back then it was really hard to get your hands on screenplays.

His agency at CAA would be sending him scripts all the time. So I, and one of my jobs was just to read all the scripts that came in, write coverage on them, recommend whether you should read them or not. And so that was a great experience. Like that was really great. You see what's out there in the marketplace. You see what the agencies are sending out. You see what scripts work or not.
