CRASH

Written by: Paul Haggis & Bobby Moresco (story by Paul Haggis)

Premise: In Los Angeles, over the course of 24 hours, the lives of a dozen flawed individuals intersect in unexpected and powerful ways.

About: You want to start a brawl? Walk into a film-related gathering and rave about the movie Crash. Man, do people get their panties in a bunch over this film. The thing is, I don’t think Crash gets nearly enough credit, despite winning an Oscar. The script takes on one of the hardest screenplay genres there is: the multi-protagonist drama. The lack of a traditional hero to center the story around makes navigating one of these narratives like navigating the Hollywood Hills… blindfolded. Writing these types of screenplays requires an immense amount of skill. You need to create multiple interesting storylines, multiple interesting characters, multiple goals, multiple stakes, and lots of urgency for everybody. And you have to blend it all together seamlessly. That’s why I admire Crash so much. Paul Haggis and Bobby Moresco are two of the only screenwriters in history to have gotten the genre right.
