A conversation with Scott Rosenfelt, Part II

Written By Lauren Taglienti

Scott Rosenfelt, Robert Bruzio, and Raymond De Felitta discuss Scott and Robert’s work on their new screenplay about legendary jazz club owner Skinny D’Amato, how much freedom actors should be given with the script in their performance, and whether or not films and TV should be dialogue or visually-driven. They also discuss the possibility for their screenplay to be expanded into a limited series and how Scott enjoys working with up and coming talent in the entertainment industry.

“I think a good director is a writer, has at some level studied acting, knows about producing. I think a good producer knows about acting, knows about writing, or has experienced each one of those...The best things happen when there’s a great collaboration.”
