I mean if that got made and put on N...

Screenwriting is an art for the creatives. You need to be consciously aware of what you want your audience to know and what you want to bring out as a writer.
but its only the creatives who can see that side of the output.
Damn right, Paul Mbigua. More screenwriters need to think like this.
Tired of people retorting with "but it's show BUSINESS" when the first word in that term is SHOW.
Screenwriting is a powerful influential means of communication.

Hi Terri, have you considered shooting a trailer or a proof of concept short? It might help convey the tone, style, and premise but at a fraction of the cost of shooting an entire pilot. Love it or ha...
Expand commentHi Terri, have you considered shooting a trailer or a proof of concept short? It might help convey the tone, style, and premise but at a fraction of the cost of shooting an entire pilot. Love it or hate it, the first Saw film was financed off the back of a short/proof of concept. It might also help you see the strengths and weaknesses and to hone your ideas.
