| Praxis Film | At Praxis we're looking first of all for scripts that the writers care about. Craft is one thing, but that has to be combined with originality and meaning -- why should this film be made? What does it have to say? That doesn't mean that we're looking for messages or that we never go for 'genre' scripts -- we've had some terrific thrillers, romantic comedies, and even a horror film. But the scripts must communicate. Most of the time (though not always) that means character-based writing. |
