Screenwriter NIA VARDALOS: Tricks of the Trade

[guitarniac]

"No it's great, it's wonderful"

-  So insincere ROFL

[kinzeUK]

I so fancy that woman. I even sat through the godawful dreck of "My Life In Ruins" and even worse, "I Hate Valentines Day" purely because I think she is a genuinely talented and vivacious actress. And where is her neighbourhood, anyone know? :)

Incidentally, I can't tolerate this interviewer anymore why he insists on constantly cutting off people is beyond me, proper gets on my tits so it does

[Rob1963]

Thanks for the videos. This is a fantastic resource. I am a long time writer who just finished his first screenplay and all the information in the videos you have provided are really educating me. Again, Thanks!

[BigJoey500]

Dude totally got digits after the interview.

[TheWorksful]

use my process...great advice!

[peter5t5t5t]

Nia i think you are a big loser that just got suckered into 2 nice paychecks, and you don't care that your / my beautiful country is being portayed as if it's 50 years behind and that everyone in greece is an idiot. why don't you show the real side of Greece with the amazing food, beautiful people /nightlife/beaches. I REALLY HOPE NIA VARDALOS READS THIS . ANTE KAI GAMISOU RE VROMIARA. your as ugly as you were in big fat greek wedding as that ugly waitress.

[DrMBA28]

I'm not sure why she was so hard to cast. Greek or not she looks and sounds white American

[TheTopBloke]

@DrMBA28 Just a stupid stupid agent.

[skoneelove]

nia, love the new movie "my life in ruins" i love all things greek. i've been to greece 8 times soon to be 9 the movie is so true to life. everyone in greece is always on a coffee break nothing works noone follows the rules it's so funny and it's the best place on earth

[wisesatyr72]

[mkl62]

9-24-2009. Happy Birthday, Nia. Well, you caught up with me (at 47).

[Fallbr00kwhat]

dammit i love this girl

[systemaroc]

NIa rules

[Bahia82]

WOW invisiable minority, thats insulting and unfortunate, liberal hollywood is so racist and bias

[osmosys808]

@Bahia82 L.A. has a very hostile subtext... I would feel safer in East Oakland than in L.A. The G's in Oakland may mug you, but in L.A. they will stab you in the heart and steal your wallet.

[sidneysant]

[tribecafilm]

[TrikkerMan2]

I wouldn't fuck this woman with a dogs dick.

[becks720]

Excuse me, but who do you think you are? Nia Vardalos is a lovely and gifted woman, and she could probably care less what your small mind thinks. On behalf of all the women out there who aren't model skinny or have the personality of cardboard I would like to say...Well, I don't think I will say it because unlike you I have class. It probably dropped down a few notches, but I couldn't resist replying.

Thanks! :)

[mikegibbowr]

I find all of these clips on "Trick of the Trade" to be an insightful guide for writing... perhaps you will too... in any event this is worth a listen... M. Gibbowr

[helenkons]

i love nia vardalos!i come from Greece and i have to say that she makes all of us proud !

[Thiseas1974]

Well...i now know that Greek-Canadians are crazier than us back here at Greece...lol

[fluffymcflufferson7]

Canada has a lot of talented Comedic people: we look at life different then Americans.

[christpunchers]

@fluffymcflufferson7 ...I hope you're not Canadian if you can't tell the difference between "then" and "than".

[tumadoireacht]

thanks for posting! your blurb contradicts what she says

[themage747]

and we know how she got a career in hollywood lol. The wheels on her bus go round and round.

[pshF0XY]

[vapren]

[nickolaus11]

sie hat einen silberblick:))

[jmacgirl1]

I'm 32 years old and the mother of 2 young children. I haven't got the time nor the money to attend film school or go to Hollywood. But I've read every book I could get my hands on about screenwriting and I've written three so far.

Nia gives me great hope!

[vapren]

i wish you such a great luck and success !!!

[naiproductions]
