Description
“I swear, if have to read another script that begins with a hero waking up in the morning after a pan of the junk in his room, I’ll gag.” – quote from Hollywood Reader One.

Uh-oh, is that the opening you just wrote for your script? What are the other “red flags” that cause a Reader to toss a script by page 10? “If character introductions are not done artfully, the odds of anything else in the script being great are slim.” – quote from Hollywood Reader Two.

So, how DO you write a screenplay these very same Readers will recommend? “Here’s the good news,” says Terrel, “it doesn’t have to be perfect. But you want to write a page-turner that keeps the Reader reading, and there are tried and true ways to help make that happen.”

In this class, we will be using two professional reader checklists – one on Concept & Plot, one on Technical Execution – to jumpstart our discussion.
