In this special 2-part episode of Write On we talk
to Flatbush Misdemeanors staff writer and
co-writer of Hip Hop Family Christmas Saeed
Crumpler about going from rapper to screenwriter: "I had to make a
change; I always loved film, and I just went back to school. I took
$5,000, invested it in myself, took a UCLA online writing course…
and I came out of there with two specs and an original pilot, and
that original pilot is the one that's getting me jobs."
Saeed goes on to talk about collaborating with other writers:
"When you're co-writing, you go through so many drafts, so many
polishes. We worked so well together that I don't remember [who
wrote what]. To me, when you're writing with a partner,
it should feel like that, where at the end of
the day it becomes a cohesive thing."
