Backward Engineering Your Screenplay/Project -- Introduction and What Kind of Creative Are YOU?

The rapid changes in the entertainment industry, brought about largely by being TOO successful, are now causing a different reckoning. For those who know their history of the industry, this is a recurrent phenomenon that almost always leads to the NEXT Renaissance in movies, TV, and, now independent media. Rather than being a time to fear (long term -- short term is challenging) it is instead a time to get over the sense that creativity has hard boundaries that may not be breached. This is a time for transgresive writers, producers, directors, actors, cinematographers, sound people, editors, animators, art directors, and even old school style execs who were focused on humanism. Yes, budgets may be lower, but that is a challenge, not a curse.
