Great post!

I’d add that a director can certainly add their own tone (spin) on a script that takes it in a totally different direction. Spike Jonze vs. Ridley Scott vs. Nora Ephron. Give them the same screenplay and watch 3 singular tones emerge. You think?

Seems like I’ve been struggling with tone – and genre – my whole life. Ugh.

Yours in film,
Jeff
