Brian Koppelman, the screenwriter behind Rounders, Runner, Runner and Ocean's Thirteen, has been recording six second Vine videos giving writing advice. They range from the practical, "Remember the last argument you had? Write it down." To the no-nonsense. "Today I'd prefer to be reading, playing in the snow, but I'm a writer - are you?"
His straight up delivery is sometimes unforgiving and sometimes comforting. In the latest #sixsecondscreenwriting Vine, number 176 states, "I promise you this, if you write every single day, a year from now you'll be a much better writer than you are today." The catalyst for these injections of knowledge were Brian's dislike of screenwriting gurus and their professed rules to writing, "All screenwriting books are bullshit, all. Watch movies, read screenplays, let them be your guide." You can find an archive of all Brian's Vines here, and with over two decades of experience these video nuggets can't be ignored.
