Some screenwriters can spend years writing a movie script. On the other hand, filmmaker John Hughes would bang out a script in days. CinemaStix dives deep into the process behind creating the Hughes classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, which was shot mainly from a first draft and required revisions on set and clever re-cutting by Hughes and editor Paul Hirsch.

If you can believe it, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was the first theatrically-released animated movie to feature one of the Avengers. It was a huge gamble to create it like a live-action comic book, but that creative decision paid off. Danny Boyd from CinemaStix offers his take on why it worked so brilliantly.
