One of my favorite movie journalists Anne Thompson (@akstanwyck) moderates an It Starts With a Script writers panel every year at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. This year was no different with seven panelists: Damian Chazelle (Whiplash), Alex Dinelaris (Birdman), E. Max Frye (co-writer, Foxcatcher), Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler), Jason Hall (American Sniper), Anthony McCarten (The Theory of Everything), and Graham Moore (The Imitation Game).
Here is video of the nearly hour-long panel:
