Hey 32-ers, Sharing a glimpse of the screenwriters who’ve shaped me. I’m lucky enough to know a few now — a surreal, humbling, and deeply affirming feeling. These are my heroes, mentors, and in some cases, friends. They’ve lifted me, championed me, and helped me find my voice. Who’s influenced your writing journey? Drop a comment — I’d love to know.

Hey, Ben Trebilcook. David Koepp, George A. Romero, and Jordan Peele are three of the screenwriters who influenced my writing journey.

Ben, I'm going to back...way back...back into time...and lift up early TV writer Reginald Rose ("Twelve Angry Men") along with the "American Graffiti" team of George Lucas, Gloria Katz, and Willard Huyck.
I've been running my scripts through a couple of tools: WriterDuet's https://screenplayiq.com and https://ScriptReader.ai. [And ScriptReader tells me I write like Aaron Sorkin, Nora Ephron, Richard Linklater, and Tina Fey. (Oh, well...)]

I don’t know them by name, but every screenwriter behind every sci-fi movie I’ve watched has shaped my sci-fi mind in some way, and I’m very grateful to all of them.

Ben Trebilcook - so great to see you!!! You have a hell of a list here. I’m a fan of Bong Joon Ho as a writer. What are you writing these days?
