Draft:Paul Guay (screenwriter)

  • Comment: Half of the references here are primary source "staff" profiles on the self-published websites of organizations he's directly affilated with, and the other half are Q&A interviews in which he's talking about himself in the first person rather than having the significance of his work spoken about by other people in the third. Which means that none of them are GNG-worthy sources, and just having screenwriting credits is not "inherently" notable in the absence of GNG-worthy sourcing.

Paul Guay is an American screenwriter known for The Little Rascals (1994), Liar Liar (1997) and Heartbreakers (2001).[1][2][3]

Career

edit

Guay co-wrote Liar Liar which he also conceived.[1][4][5] Roger Ebert said Jim Carrey's performance was brilliant and expected Guay and Stephen Mazur would be nominated for their "mind-boggling" writing.[6] Guay also co-wrote The Little Rascals[7] and Heartbreakers, and later pursued writing in the WWE, claiming it is as fake as Hamlet.[3]

During the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike, Guay considered revisiting poetry, even if the income was less than screenwriting.[8] In 2013, some of his tips for screenwriting were published in Writer's Guide to 2013: Cinematic Scene-Building.[2]
