BPS 112: The Craft of Epic Story Screenwriting with Edward Zwick

We have been on a major roll lately on the podcast and this episode
keeps that going in a big way. Our guest on the show today is
writer, producer, and director Edward Zwick. Edward made his
big shift from his childhood passion for theater to filmmaking
after working as a PA for Woody Allen in France on the set of Love
and Death. He then moved to California in the summer of 1976 and
has since forged a respected name for himself in Hollywood.

Edward Zwick is a multiple Academy Award, Golden Globes, and
BAFTA award-winning director, writer, and producer.

Faced with the fear of going to law school during his first five
years in the industry if filmmaking didn't work, Zwick cards turned
and launched him into projects that are now some of the most
critically and commercially acclaimed in the business. His work
spectrums the comedy-drama and epic historical genres.

Edward has had a remarkable career so far and still has much more
to give. Speaking to Edward was like sitting in my persona
filmmaking masterclass. We discuss how he made the jump from a
low-budget comedy to epic historical dramas, his creative process,
navigating Hollywood, directing some of the biggest movie stars in
the world, and much more.

Prepare to take notes on this one tribe. Enjoy my conversation with
