Interviews: Red Inkworks Screenwriter's Competition

MovieBytes Interview:
Screenwriter Warren Cowell

An interview with screenwriter Warren Cowell regarding the Red Inkworks Writing Competition.

Q: What's the title of the script you entered in this contest, and what's it about?

A: CRACKER JACK, Tail of a Ripper After inadvertently being swept up into a horse race and winning by ten lengths, JACK is shipped across the ocean to compete against the World's fastest thoroughbreds. The problem is Jack is not a horse. He's a very young moose.

Family animated comedy.

Tag line: Tear it Moose!

Q: What made you enter this particular contest? Have you entered any other contests with this script? If so, how did you do?

A: I was looking for feedback.

I sent a copy to Coverage Ink. in California for analysis. Red Inkworks is Canadian based and I thought their opinions might balance. Larry Myles gave great praise but little feedback.

I have since entered CRACKER JACK into six major contests. Results pending.

Q: Were you satisfied with the administration of the contest? Did they meet their deadlines? Did you receive all the awards that were promised?

A: The results were posted on time and I received an email of congratulations.

Q: How long did it take you to write the script? Did you write an outline beforehand? How many drafts did you write?

A: I spend a lot of time writing one script. Years. The first draft came quickly. About a month in 2005 while I was living in Australia and frequenting the track. The 3rd draft won Red Inkworks.

Q: What kind of software did you use to write the script, if any? What other kinds of writing software do you use?

A: Final Draft

Q: Do you write every day? How many hours per day?

A: I write five days a week for eight to ten hours a day. I write in the morning and at night. I take a long walk, sometimes three hours in the afternoon. Unless I'm writing a horror. Then I run. Or a cartoon. Then I nap.

Q: Do you ever get writer's block? If so, how do you deal with that?

A: If a story's not coming, I don't force it. I work on something different. Since I'm writing on speculation, I can let a project sit for years.

Q: What's your background? Have you written any other screenplays or television scripts?

A: I'm always writing. In 2007 my horror/comedy placed respectably in a few contests. Before that Alliance Atlantic fancied a sports comedy idea I had, but things didn't work out for me.

Q: Do you live in Los Angeles? If not, do you have any plans to move there?

A: I live in Canada. I have no plans to move to Hollywood.

Q: What's next? Are you working on a new script?

A: There is always a new script. Scribes must fight the good fight. Alone and in the dark. Like I am right now.
