Uncover the Untold Secrets of Screenwriting with Jack Epps in This Exclusive Go Into The Story Interview
I’d like to hit on all those areas, but first, let’s get a sense of how you found your way into screenwriting as a career. In terms of how you went about learning the craft, I’ve read where you were a student at Michigan State, and Jim Cash was teaching the only screenwriting course there, and the class was full, and you had to talk your way in there, is that right?
Jack Epps: Yes, that is correct. I had made a short film during my junior year at Michigan State. At the time, I was an English major and I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I went to a student film festival, saw the films, came out and said, “Well, I can do better than that.” Took a film class, made a short movie and I found myself creatively. It became instantly clear that I wanted to make movies. If I was going to make movies, I had to learn how to write them.
