A Screenwriter’s Creative Process

Hollywood screenwriter John August is known for writing films like “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and the Disney live-action adaptation of “Aladdin”.

In this “Academy Originals” YouTube video, John talks about his amazingly creative process and where his ideas come from.

See how he uses a whiteboard to plot his stories—and a weird keyboard to type his script. You’ve probably never seen anything like it before. Well, I hadn’t!
