We burn through Tony Scott’s “Man on Fire” and discuss:

editing;
performances;
writing, how writing drama for film can differ from TV;
And many of the things.

“There came this point where I sat down with all my notebooks and I had to start to write, when I thought: this whole notion of writing for the person who understands nothing, the average reader… He has to die! I can’t have him in my head. And so the person I started writing for was the homicide detective.“ – David Simon
