Interview with Writer Allison Burnett

Allison Burnett is a rising star on the horizon. With three movies being released in the five months, he's got to hold a record.

And get this...

He also has an amazing business deal that will virtually assures that every script he writes will make it to the big screen!

In the interview, he spoke with us about how he writes, what causes a script to sell, and how to reveal character secrets in a way that keeps an audience glued to their seats.

Here are some excerpts from the interview.

HAL: What movies are on your slate?

ALLISON: I’ve done FAME, RESURRECTING THE CHAMP, FEAST OF LOVE, and UNTRACEABLE.  And now I've adapted Pete Dexter's book TRAIN and that is in the pipeline along with INSIDE OUT GIRL.

HAL: Wow!

ALLISON: It is just a wonderful thing and I'm perpetually grateful and I think everything I've learned in all my years out here really paid off because I have that clarity to see the opportunity and not play the Prima donna.

HAL: Maybe you should talk with us about how you write scripts in a way that causes them to sell.
