  • Terrible lighting.

  • So many people get sceenwriting wrong it astonishes me. First off Aristotle said that a story has a beginning middle and end, he DIDN'T say that a story begin on page one of a play. The story can have three acts but before we even get to the story there is a turning point that gets it rolling. The set up Michael is refering to is actually called the inciting incident, the moment where the protagonist world turns upside down. The story is what he does to make it right again.

  • @RoathRipper Haha, cute. Yeah, I know what you're sayin'. He's on imdb though and has some credits to his name so he's the fourth option.

  • @AzaleaZoeliz they say those who can, do. those who can't, teach. those who can't teach, teach screenwriting.

  • @RoathRipper Did you look him up? He is on imdb. Are u buyin'?

  • if this guy aint on imdb, I aint buyin.

  • @stylesnz Good question. 

  • HOLLYWOOD SCREENWRITER -the song

  • Has this guy ever sold any scripts that have been produced?

  • I've been online surfing some useful advice to help carry me into finishing my script. This has by far been the best and most informative information . Thank You
