three wells of screenwriting

What’s been said…

“[Spling's] knowledge of film is encyclopaedic and his ability to analyse the aspirations of each filmmaker is perspicacious."

Dr Janet van Eeden, Screenwriter, Producer, Dean, Author 'Cut to the Chase'

"Kalil gently reminds us that, when fearfully facing the blank page, there are multiple wells, both external and internal, from which to drink deeply when searching for something truly original and moving to say.”

Gavin Hood, Director Eye in the Sky; Ender's Game & Tsotsi
