Laura Davis, an L.A. based scriptwriter, shared her view on the challenges and rising opportunities to innovate processes in the film industry, habits to be creative, the value of ideas, and the difference between working for TV as well as film.

Davis emphasized that writing despite being a creative task requires a lot of design and discipline. Screenwriting is a psychological challenge that takes a lot of work. When asked about her creative habits she answered: “There is no one way”, Laura has her own methods but she encourages people to find their own to get the results that they aspire.

Laura shares the advice she would have liked to receive when she was starting in this profession: not all ideas are worth pursuing because not all of them are universal, but if what is being created by the writer is personal then it can connect with others.
