Praise for David's "From Script to Screen" series

"David Cohen's interviews have long been Script Magazine's most read and most popular articles. Readers consistently name 'From Script to Screen' as the first article they turn to in each issue"

Shelly Mellott
Editor in Chief, Script Magazine


"When the movie I wrote, A Simple Plan, came out, I was astonished by the tedium of the publicity process--the same half dozen superficial questions repeated over and over again. I began to sound stupid and boring even to myself. One of the few exceptions to this was David Cohen's interview for script Magazine. David knows the film industry and understands how it works. He grasped the complicated steps and missteps of how a script becomes a film and presented them clearly and compellingly. Perhaps even more exceptional, though, I actually recognized myself in his interview, the cadence of my own particular voice translated onto the page. That's a rare gift, and one which David seems to possess instinctively."
