Screenwriter Andrew Bovell (Strictly Ballroom. Edge of Darkness, A Most Wanted Man) gives an insightful look at what he learned writing in Hollywood. For Bovell screenwriting is both appealing and difficult; there’s a never-ending question of a writer's responsibility and the purpose of cinema: “Do we aim to give expression to the themes of the day, or should we just tell a damn good story?”
