Uncover the Untold Secrets of Screenwriting with Jack Epps in This Exclusive Go Into The Story Interview
I got a rare opportunity to spend about six months on the picture. It was a paid internship, half paid by the AFI and the other half by MGM at $100 a week which was enough to cover rent. I was on this picture for three months of pre‑production, three months of production. During production, I assisted the director, Howard Zieff, and then sat on the set for every take and every setup. It was a real epiphany. To watch a movie get made shot-by-shot is really insightful. It became very clear that all the attention was focused on the actors. Everything was about the actors and what they were playing.
