An interview with screenwriter Cristina Kotz Cornejo
Screenwriter, filmmaker, Professor and Chair of the Visual and Media Arts Department at Emerson College in Boston, Cristina Kotz Cornejo reveals the creative advice she gives to her students at one of the leading Film programs in the U.S. She also discusses her experience at NYU’s graduate film program at Tisch School of the Arts and her personal writing process. Part 1 of 2.
“I always tell my students, practice shooting scenes at home with your friends, build your skills, develop a point of view. That can also apply to being a screenwriter. If you’re compelled to be a writer/director, there’s no reason why you can’t write stories.”
