From Page to Screen
The Writing Process
Every script starts as a single idea and is rebuilt, draft after draft, until it earns the right to be shot. Structure is stress-tested, dialogue is cut back, and scenes are rewritten around what a character wouldn't say before they're rewritten around what they would.
