1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Hello and welcome to episode 5 of The Closing Credits Podcast. Today, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Gary Whitta. He's a screenwriter best known for Rogue One and The Book of Eli, he's written for Star Wars Rebels, Telltale's The Walking Dead video game, and his own novel, Abomination, and a comic book series, Oliver. In this episode, we talk about writing for video games, how does a script go from paper to screen, the writing process, how does one write compelling characters audiences can sympathize with, and dealing with creative heartbreak during your journey into screenwriting. &amp;nbsp; Gary Whitta's IMDb:&amp;nbsp;https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1729428/ Website:&amp;nbsp;http://www.garywhitta.com/ Twitter:&amp;nbsp;https://twitter.com/garywhitta Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/garywhitta Four Screenplays:&amp;nbsp;https://www.amazon.com/Four-Screenplays-Studies-American-Screenplay-ebook/dp/B002QJZ9KE Save the Cat:&amp;nbsp;https://www.amazon.com/Save-Cat-Last-Screenwriting-Youll-ebook/dp/B00340ESIS/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=save+the+cat&amp;amp;qid=1583414945&amp;amp;s=digital-text&amp;amp;sr=1-2 &amp;nbsp; Don't forget to follow the podcast on Instagram and Twitter @closingcred Or checkout our website&amp;nbsp;closingcreditspod.com .
