The Foreign Language Script

What writing a script in a second language requires and how bi-cultural writers navigate it

The Challenge

The foreign language script challenge -- the specific creative and technical challenge of writing a screenplay in a language that is not the writer primary language and for a cultural context that is not the writer primary cultural context -- is the accountability journalism of the bi-cultural writing that the international co-production market increasingly requires.

The Navigation

The specific navigation: the specific native language consultation that identifies the specific idiom failures that the non-native speaker does not hear; the specific cultural accuracy check that identifies the specific cultural authenticity failures that the outsider perspective does not catch; and the specific translation work whose quality determines whether the specific cultural content that the script contains is accessible to the specific audience the distribution targets.
