Coverage Ink’s Jim Cirile on Story Analysis

Well, this was a blast! Recently I had the pleasure of sitting down with screenwriter and UCLA Extension instructor Brooks Elms as part of his Story Analysis for Film and Television class. Some of you may remember Brooks and his writing partner Glenn Sanders as former winners of our Writers on the Storm contest with their killer comedy script WRIGHT OR WRONG. 

We cover a lot in this 25-minute chat, from how contests work to Coverage Ink’s Get Repped Now, to finding work as a script reading and how to learn to analyze a screenplay. If you’re interested in learning more about story analysis, this video’s a great place to start. Many thanks to Brooks and of course to UCLA for having me!
