Great post Maurice Vaughan ! As I was taught, “Scenes are like parties. Enter late and leave early.”

Thanks, Colette "ByFilms" Byfield. How is your Thriller project coming?

Maurice Vaughan thank you for asking! I took the advice I was given by the executive and “fixed” a series of flashbacks to keep the reader/audience in the present. I think it really adds to the suspense because now you won’t know “why” the main character was killed until the chilling end! :)

Colette "ByFilms" Byfield, from your comment, I can see the script being better because of the change. It keeps the reader and audience in the present, it draws out a mystery over the entire script, and the chilling ending has an added layer (finding out why). I could just be rephrasing what you said. Haha What is your plan for the script? I'm not sure if I asked that before.

Maurice Vaughan right? Those flashbacks make it much easier to explain “whodunnit” but it was also making the story a little more sluggish.
I think you went with the right choice changing that part in the script. Is the script finished now, or do you have to do more rewrites?
