I just interviewed a potential AD partner and as soon as I heard they “prefer to write their own scripts” I voted No. Should I have given them a chance?

I love having an AD partner who writes scripts. Doubles our chances of coming up with something good. What’s your objection?

Objection would be he doesn’t know how to interview without coming off as a d-bag I guess.

Able to writer scripts and prefers to write scripts are two different things. I love a good team effort but sounds like there’s a lot of ego behind that “prefers.”

I don’t think it’s the fact that they want to write scripts that screams “no”, but the fact that they refer to them as “their own”. On a good team everything should be “ours”.

This exactly^ I prefer to help write scripts over just taking the back seat and storyboarding, but I wouldn’t call them “my own”

he should contribute to scripts, offer ideas, write some things up of course.... but this sounds like more than that. i don’t think i could make my own comps without my partner adjusting them or contributing/wanting to change them so...

Fuck that noise no way. The scripts should always be both of yours even if you wrote every word. Sometimes my partner writes scripts but it’s understood I can always go in and tweak.

No.
