544K views · 9 years ago · lecture · evergreen

Charlie Kaufman gives a lecture in the BAFTA Screenwriters' Lecture Series (2011) on writing and the creative process. It is aimed at screenwriters but is largely about how to work and what to say as a creator.

HN people list it among the non-technical talks they want to rewatch, and share it as writing advice from a distinctive creator.

“talks that I want to rewatch the moment they come to mind.”

"of all time" is often too strong of a qualifier for me. I would say "talks that I want to rewatch the moment they come to mind."
