Every time I get a chance to meet someone who has experience in an industry I have an interest in is always nice. I don’t tend to talk and ask questions in big groups, just listen and digest responses. Carlos Hernandez does such a wide variety of media, it’s hard to fathom that he can do it with ease. I sometimes have trouble writing a screenplay but this man can do books, poems, video games, etc. A lot of what I gathered from his presentation was to get your work out there, and draw from what you know or like. You can’t find out what works until you try and get others to read it. Also hearing how he came up with some of this stories makes me think about my own stories I can write. As a film major with an interest in producing and screenwriting, I can use this idea to write more screenplays (features or shorts) and submit them to festivals to gain awareness.
