Today’s Podcast EP. 1385 – Screenwriter Carlos Galinho (DOWNBURST)

Watch the Screenplay Reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cldgPYKZKnY

Get to know the screenwriter:

What is your screenplay about?
The central topic is a wildfire that grows uncontrollably, generating its own micro-weather followed by a downburst, which spreads destructive and fast winds of fire, while different civil defense officers try to fight it and save lives. It is a multicharacter plot, focusing on different layers of drama. At the same time, it’s also a conspiracy thriller, as a journalist tries to uncover the causes behind it.

What genres does your screenplay fall under?
Action, thriller, drama

Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?
First if all, it’s full of action and drama, possibly the main “ingredients” of any Hollywood blockbuster. Then, it’s a genuine, dramatic and heroic story with uncommon elements: wildfires are rarely depicted in movies; and, the story, which may seem incredible and fictional, was actually based on true events that no one could ever predict. So, if I do say so myself, I think it would be a great movie, something between “Band of Brothers” and “Dante’s Peak”.

Birth name
Adam Jared Brody

Spouse
Leighton Meester(February 15, 2014 – present) (2 children)

Quotes:

I just graduated from high school, and I was working at Blockbuster. Not only did I get into movies while I was there, but I was putting away boxes and looking at the kids on the covers, it felt like windows into these seemingly perfect lives.

I’ll never have a more life-changing year than than this last one (2003-2004). I could win an Oscar and it wouldn’t alter my daily life as much as The O.C. (2003) has.

You know how in The Fugitive (1993), when Harrison Ford hears sirens, he’ll just subtly steer the other way? I do that when I see groups of teenage girls.

I love movie-making. I’m interested in writing and directing, and I’ve dabbled, but I haven’t done anything I care to brag about. Yet.

I wish I came from a more pure place. I don’t have something to say from the bottom of my soul. I just know how to take stuff I like and repackage it in a slightly different way.

Quotes:

Downton Abbey (2010) has become this huge thing, and I really enjoy the success of it, but I sometimes find myself on the outside looking in.
In the first season of Downton Abbey (2010) we see the three sisters, and pretty much all they do is change clothes three times a day.

Shakespeare is renewed each time you see it or read it. I’ve seen ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ so many times, and each time it’s a little different, or a different line leaps out at me. It’s like re-reading a good book over and over, always noticing something you hadn’t seen the time before – and that’s rare.

I don’t mind wearing a corset, it informs your posture, changes the way you move, you can’t slouch.

Quotes:

I definitely have curves. I don’t intend on losing them.
There have been periods of my life when I was heavier, like right after high school I definitely gained that freshman 15. It was tough to lose. Ever since then, I know that I can gain weight, so I try to be careful.
My
I’ll make a horrible housewife. It’s not like I’m disgusting, but I’m pretty bad about having a drink or eating something and then leaving the plate and rushing to go.

I think about what I’m eating every day. I still have burgers and stuff that’s not good for me sometimes, but I’m always trying to be careful. I don’t just eat whatever I want.

As a female there aren’t too many characters that are very empowering, and there’s something very empowering about Lara Croft. She kicks butt and she does it in style. She’s confident and she’s educated.

[Dream acting role] I would love to do a period piece. Or a fantasy piece like Game of Thrones. The closest I’ve come to it is playing a fairy on True Blood. But I’m crossing my fingers for more opportunities.
