Writer/director/actress, and one of the most influential proponents of LGBT cinema, Guinevere Turner, sat down with NFS to talk about her work as a screenwriter for such films as,, and. While sharing about how she got started, her process, and techniques that made her a better writer (yes, including writing bad scenes,) she also discusses her feature directorial debut for her upcoming project Creeps. NFS: So, how did you get into screenwriting?

GT: I got into screenwriting in kind of a roundabout way -- unexpected, I should say. I went to Sarah Lawrence College -- I thought I was going to be a novelist. I was living in Chicago, my girlfriend just graduated from film school, and we were both bemoaning the state of lesbian cinema. Cell For Windows Xp. And then I said, 'Well, I'm a writer. I'll write a script. You're a filmmaker, so you'll make a movie.'

I'd never wrote a script in my life when I wrote the script for Go Fish. I got into screenwriting because I just decided to do it. I never studied it -- and it's funny, because now I teach it. It was very much a learning-by-doing, trial and error process. The guy who wrote Ocean's Thirteen -- -- I was looking at his, and he said, 'All screenwriting books are bullshit. Watch movies. Read scripts.' That has kind of been my execution.

GT: Because it goes from a montage to a great song about every 15 minutes. NFS: Let me tell you a little story. When I was in college, I took a class on female directors, and on that syllabus was Go Fish and American Psycho -- two totally different stories written by the same woman. GT: It's funny to me, because I feel like I have these very passionate fanbases that are two completely different animals that don't even know the other exists.
