Vince Gilligan is an American screenwriter, producer, and director. He is known for his television work, specifically as creator, head writer, showrunner, executive producer, and director of AMC's Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul. He was also a writer and producer for The X-Files.
Vince Gilligan has won four Primetime Emmy Awards, six Writers Guild of America Awards, two Critics' Choice Television Awards, two Producers Guild of America Awards, a Directors Guild of America Award, and a BAFTA Television Award. Outside of television, he co-wrote the screenplay for the 2008 film Hancock and wrote and directed the Breaking Bad sequel film, El Camino.
1. When you hear a ridiculous idea or a joke, try to think of a domino effect situation that would lead to that ridiculous concept actually being plausible.
2. Have a finite show in your mind while writing. Make sure your characters change and they, like the show itself, have a beginning and an end.
3. To make a coincidence believable, make sure it is ultimately bad for the main character. If it benefits them, there shouldn’t be a coincidence.
4. Build the story brick by brick, index card by index card. Fill the corkboard with indispensable plot points until you have enough for an episode.
5. Make sure you have a one-liner pitch sentence about your show that gives an idea of where the show is going and stick by that one-liner.
6. As a new staff writer, remember to have a good attitude in the writer’s room. Don’t try to change the show, you need to first prove yourself by having the ability to speak in the voice of the characters already in it.
7. Your writing won’t be of quality when you first start, no matter who you are. But if you start with an enthusiasm for it and keep at it, you’ll get there.
8. There’s no other way of pitching than putting one leg in front of the other. Make sure you really believe in the project and just go for it.
9. In television production, you sometimes have to roll with the punches. If something doesn’t go your way, don’t dwell on it, rather try to turn lemons into lemonade.
10. Most of the time, doing organic storytelling that stems from character is a good way to go about writing television, but sometimes writing something just for the fun of it might result in great moments.
