It’s a fallacy that the first 10 pages are the most important. Let’s face it, Hollywood has ADD!

A fresh breeze of breath air! Thanks Julie.
I went to the those big mediafire share files
where two folks are posting over 10,000 scripts.
And when I read them, yes in the first 5 pages I will toss it.
Some of thme are so boring.
Really these scripts are sooo boring.
I agree the first 5 pages must rivet me.
But loved some.
Thanks, Julie. Excellent notes. I just finished a short script (20 pages) and am working on an edit / rewrite. I have a strong dialogue voice, but I tend to over-use it, and forget action sometimes. Good reminder.
Best,
