Script reader AMA on reddit

Great find/read thx.

'As Billy Wilder/Lubitsch said: "Let the audience add up two plus two. They’ll love you forever." (I think) Amateurs tend to put everything on screen;
nothing happens off screen.'

That's a great tip, and one time let 'em go 2+2=5, but imo only do it once or you'll annoy 'em. A box of red herrings in your writing kit is good to have.

Cheers.
 
Heh, it wasn't super fantastic, but it was OK. But it was way, way - leagues - better than the really sh|tty recent one with David Goyer... you'd think a screenwriter would be more interesting, but that was just the most worthless waste of time AMA ever. I still like the AMA you posted not too long ago with the small time distributor best.
