Film Courage: What three things does a producer want in a screenplay?
Alok Mishra, Producer of 1 BR Movie: For me personally, I’m a genre producer. I want originality. If it’s not original I don’t want to have seen it for a long time and I want it to be 90 pages. I feel there are very few movies ( horror movies) that need to be longer than 90-minutes typically. You’ll get The Shining and different things like that but but typically I think that horror movies and comedies should be:
-90 minutes;
-Get in;
-Get out;
-See the funny;
-See the scary;
That’s it.
Film Courage: What are the top reasons you would reject a screenplay?
Alok: It’s not original or I’ve seen it very recently. Is it an idea…(Watch the video interview on Youtube here).
