"The most important thing a story editor can do is suspend judgment. Make certain you know what the writer wants to say, to show," says Frizzell. "I can't try to make their script fit what I think it 'should' be. I work with a lot of original thinkers, so it is always a challenge to help them write their personal vision in a way that can be properly translated visually for the screen." SCREENTALK Magazine
