On this week's episode of Write About Now, Unsane co-writer Jonathan Bernstein tells the only-in-Hollywood story about how this movie came to be. Directed by Stephen Soderbergh and starring Claire Foy, the film, which opens March 23, was shot entirely on iPhones. This isn't how Bernstein imagined it, but he also didn't imagine that after year of writing film he describes as "miserable failures," he'd have his name up in lights again. As a writer, Bernstein has earned a successful career partly through his ability to adapt and pivot, finding work in a number of genres and mediums. He's written articles about movies, non-fiction books about music, young adult novels, early aughts comedies, and now a high-profile psychological thriller. Bernstein is living proof that if you stick at this writing thing long enough, you never know what can happen.
