A Weeklong Sprint to Screenplay: Wain and Marino's Seven-Day Draft Method
TL;DR Summary
David Wain and Ken Marino revealed at Sundance that they draft a feature in seven days by writing from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for a full week with no concept at start, aiming roughly at 20 pages per day; after the sprint they step away for a rewrite phase that can stretch weeks or years, a method they’ve used on three films including The Ten and Wanderlust.
