  • @rerite2 his treatment lol

  • I just watched a video about writing a 3 page treatment. Is there no format? Do you think I can get away with a 90 page script? If so, I'll probably be done writing next week.

  • Is he looking down at a cheat sheet???

  • Why are all these screenwriting teachers the most boring people I have ever heard speak.

  • A 90 page treatment? And he got a producer to read it? Might as well have sent them the whole script.

  • 90 page treatment? WTF? thats a fucking screenplay itself

  • I am going to try it this way, it seems this may help me organize. Than you very much.

  • @jacqklin I did it the other way around. Wrote a script first. I was asked to write a treatment, so doing that now.

    Try outlining your scenes. What happens and whose introduced in those scenes, why they are there.

    If you can't do this, then it's probably because you have no idea about a story and just have an idea.

  • Thank you very much, Mr. Halperin.

  • This guy is a genius.
