This is the second episode in the WGA inspired mini-season. A break from the usual "Directors on Directing," this season is focused on the nuts and bolts of screenwriting.
The second episode features BRADLEY JACKSON, another co-writer on my debut feature, STAGES. Bradley also co-wrote my short film, THE HEIGHTS. But, once again, these two projects are just one of many other credits under Bradley's belt. His first produced screenplay, INTRAMURAL, a comedy about Intramural football, starred Kate McKinnon (SNL), Jake Lacy (The White Lotus) and Beck Bennett (SNL). Just prior to the strike, Bradley had just finished setting up his script GYM RAT - a gritty basketball drama - with A24 and Oscar winning director Ezra Edelman, in addition to writing an original feature for Bill Simmons and Spotify. Bradley is also a talented documentary director and producer. His directorial debut, FACING NOLAN - about the legendary Major League pitcher and Texas legend Nolan Ryan - premiered at SXSW 2022 to rave reviews and then premiered on Netflix. Other credits include writing and producing the feature documentary DEALT which won the Audience Award at the 2017 South by Southwest Film Festival and producing the 4 part docu-series for Showtime and Boardwalk Pictures called ACTION - about the legalization of sports gambling in America. His current project is writing/producing the Milli Vanilli documentary for MRC that was bought by Paramount+ and will be released in late 2023.
During this conversation, we spoke about revealing character through comedy, the third draft "subtext" transition, and how a co-writer can help wade through determining if the pages you're writing are actually good.
