Screenplay Tips: Avoiding Amateur Mistakes | Rolling Tape

Producer Adam Coplan joins us to discuss red flags that might be holding back your screenplay from being read in Hollywood. ROLLING TAPE explores the world of indie film & screenwriting with the top experts in the industry. ADAM COPLAN was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, and moved to Los Angeles shortly after graduating from George Washington University to pursue a career in film production. After his nearly two decades in the business, his resume is a distinctive blend of experience that makes him uniquely qualified to teach and discuss screenwriting. He has been a script reader at a major agency, story editor for one of the most prolific producers in film history, Vice President of Development for arguably the most script-conscious and literate producers of all time, and Vice President of Production for a third hugely successful producer. He has been a screenwriter, a producer, and a director, as well as a professor, and now adds the title of author to his varied background. In his various executive positions, just a select few of the films he has worked on include Executive Decision, The Matrix, The Truman Show, In & Out, A Simple Plan, Wonder Boys, I, Robot, and Behind Enemy Lines. He coproduced The Express with producer John Davis and wrote, produced, and directed the independent drama It’s Dark Here.
