177 | Past Lives Writer/Director Celine Song: Standing In Your Authority As a Writer and Artist

The Screenwriting Life with Meg LeFauve and Lorien McKenna

Hearing Celine Song discuss her authority as an artist is powerful stuff. Despite no feature film directorial experience, she knew she had the secret key to lead the production of Past Lives, which is now a 2024 Oscar nom: a fierce commitment to her script, the story, and characters. For Celine, all of the power and authority that we bring to our work comes from the simple fact that we are the authors and engineer of that sacred document that drives the whole thing: the script.
