More Tabs, Please #18: Hunt Sabs, Subcultures, and Screenplays

“SARAH CONNOR is not the same woman we remember from last time.“

Behind every great and horrible film is a screenplay that sets out every character and scene. They’re easy to forget about when we’re watching something, but they can offer hidden insights into the writers thoughts.

‘How 50 Famous Female Characters Were Described In Their Screenplays‘ gives us a glimpse into the minds of screenwriters over the years, along with how some of the most famous female characters came to be.

A mix of inspiring, intelligent, and truly awful, this is an excellent and illuminating read. Carrie Fischer’s example for her film Postcards From the Edge is a highlight.

“I worked out why they’d attacked me: they thought I was a sab. Well, now I am.”

We all have our own personal beliefs about life, politics, and all the rest. A lot of us get pretty passionate about them, usually around the family dinner table after a few beers or wine. Far fewer of us spend a Saturday running around fields and getting insulted for them.

‘Following the trail‘ is the story of a journalist embedded with some hunt saboteurs, or sabs, as they attempt to disrupt a hunting party charging around the countryside on horseback and jeeps.

An eye-opening look at what goes on away from the public eye, it’s a great look at the dedication people have to their causes and beliefs.

Hire This Artist: Andre D. Wagner

I stumbled across Wagner in this great documentary on his work. It showcases his skill and talent far better than I can here, but I’ll try.

Wagner is a street photographer, something incredibly common nowadays. It’s not an easy thing to do well, and even harder to stand out in such a crowded scene. Still, just looking at a few photos from Wagner and it’s clear he has a unique eye and skill to capture shots other people wouldn’t even notice, let alone capture so expertly.

Also, he develops his own film and while I don’t knock anyone for the mediums they choose, there’s some always been something really impressive about a homemade dark room.

Check out his website here, or he’s on Twitter, Instagram, and VCSO.
