Job opportunity: script writers

[NewsWhore]

Writing in yesterday's Diario Libre, Mario Nunez Munoz highlights the country's need for good script writers. He explains that the intention exists, on the part of both the government and the private sector, to develop a national film industry. However, he says that this objective clashes with the reality that while there are good stories to be told, we do not know how to tell them. He points out that every script needs to have a clear presentation of the conflict, develop the theme and a coherent ending. He makes the point, criticizing the fact that while recent Dominican movies "Lilis" and "Viajeros" are two good stories to be told, they fail from the point of good drama, to build a truly believable and coherent tale. "Without a real effort to provide the start up movie industry with consistent drama-building tools, there will not be such an industry," writes Nunez. He calls for the establishment of courses, workshops, contests and recognition that may attract writers from other disciplines and train new talents to generate a market for script writers.
