Answers from Marla

Other than your current job, what other job in the entertainment industry do you dream of doing?

I would love to write a book to help writers just getting into script writing figure out the do's and don'ts of the business. Teaching classes on basic scriptwriting would also be very interesting. Then again, I'd also love to explore new and unusual ways to tell stories, like movie/rides in amusement parks or short webisode series.... read more

How would you describe your time at Longbow Productions?

This was an amazing experience, starting as an assistant and working my way up to VP of Development. I learned a lot about story development as well as how much I hate schmoozing. Loved the job and the people I worked with so much I stayed until reality TV shut us down.

Marla White has an uncanny ability to read a script and focus on just what needs improvement to make a bad script decent, and a good script much better. Insightful input, and always accompanied by clear, concise examples of ways to take the marginal and make it sizzle. She's the first person I show a script, knowing you will give me an honest assessment - whether I want it or not! - and is willing to share in the heavy creative lifting with the target goal of improving whatever needs work.

Only call Marla if you want the very best. She picks up on the obvious errors and good points of a script, but there are lots of script doctors with that ability. So why Marla? Marla's different. She has a magical way of taking your mind into the theater's cheap seats so you can see the script from the audience's POV. Her feedback isn't sugarcoated. It's straight talk and usually right, She goes that extra mile to understand the story you're trying to tell and helps you tell it.
