Is one of those mythic and suspect
creatures known as the Hollywood
screenwriter. Which everyone knows
is made up. Actors invent their lines
on the spot.
I made mistakes in drama.I thought drama was when actors cried.But drama is when the audience cries.
— Frank Capra —
About
Max Adams
Max Adams is an author and award winning screenwriter. She has written for Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures, Tri-Star Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, Universal Pictures — and a couple others to remain unnamed because no one around here wants to get black listed.
Max is a former volunteer AFI Alumni reader and WGAw online mentor, has appeared as a speaker at, among other places, AMPAS, USC, and Film Arts Foundation, is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at University of Utah and former lecturer & instructor at New York Film Academy, is the author of The Screenwriter’s Survival Guide AND The New Screenwriter’s Survival Guide, is the founder of two international online screenwriting workshops, and has the dubious distinction of having been dubbed “Red Hot Adams” by Daily Variety for selling three pitches over a holiday weekend — which made her agents cry. In a good way. She now answers to both “Max” and “Red Hot” in crowds and dog parks.
