How to polish your screenplay: notes from Mahindra–Sundance Screenwriters Lab
12 April 2012 10:39 PM, PDT | DearCinema.com | See recent DearCinema.com news »
Vikas Chandra was selected for the inaugural edition of Mumbai Mantra—Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab in India for his script ‘Toothache’. He, along with seven other screenplay writers, participated in a 5 day- workshop in Lonavla. Vikas Chandra sums up his learning from the workshop in this article:
Your donkeys are not carrying enough load!
In the beginning I had no clue on how to prepare or even what to expect from the lab. Worse, I was gripped with the fear that in no time I would be exposed as a writer!
I expected to be bombarded with questions I had no answers to, at least not at that moment. With such apprehensions, I approached my first session, which was with Audrey Wells.
Thankfully – nothing of the above happened.
We started talking about the central character in my script. Why did I choose my protagonist? What do I like about her? »

It's a berth on the USS Contemporary all the way for Mark Wahlberg in his new thriller Contraband, with its story about the counterfeit-money supply lines between Panama and the United States. In fact, the film is a testament to the glories of (above board) free trade: once known as 2008 Icelandic production Reykjavik-Rotterdam, this piece of intellectual property has crossed the Atlantic with star Baltasar Kormákur, who, as the new film's director, ushered it smoothly into the Hollywood warehouse.
Contraband is a solid enough 110 minutes, a bit like a lengthy episode of the Crystal Maze set in a sweating central American metropolis overseen by some crazed Ups official. But its feverish overplotting made me think it had missed a trick. It might have benefitted from stringing together some elegant non-linear connections, »
