[Tom Benedek] has been invited to do a show at the Writer's Guild. It is called SHOT BY THE WRITER and he shot his old screenplays with a gun and then photographed the results with an old 8 inch by 10 inch camera. Incredible detail. Beautiful. What is really great about the work especially is that the images are beautiful, but they are also insanely scaled because of the 8 x 10 negative. So you have this wonderful relationship with the image when it is 5 feet tall with no fuzziness.
UPDATE:
Tom Benedek says:
Below is the invitation with all relevant info about places and dates for the show which consists of representations of the work for hire I have done in Hollywood which I no longer control but was paid to write for producers, studios. Original scripts I own, and movies that I wrote that got made(Cocoon, Free Willy, others) are not included in Shot by the Writer. Five jobs are represented by bronze sculptures and the other 17 are photographs of shot up scripts.
