There are many ways to rewrite; too many ways... To begin with, I do not recommend starting from scratch -if you don't want to. You can go about it in some many ways that I cannot enumerate them, but my main advice is this: Find the MAIN STORY LINE. Some call this the "A" story (the one about the MAIN CHARACTER and HIS/HER GOAL, which usually is to defeat the ANTAGONIST -whatever shape or form it may have). Okay, you found the main story line? Second thing you do is read your script -page by page, scene by scene. Find: 1) The scenes that move the main story line/main plot forward (save those). 2) Find other scenes that develop character (save those too), but be mindful that some of those "character-developing scenes" might have to go. Don't keep them just because you've fallen in love with them. (REMEMBER this recommendation by a vary famous writer: sometimes you have to KILL YOUR DARLINGS). So those scenes you like so much? They may have to go if they do not SERVE THE STORY. The best thing is to find all scenes that do DOUBLE DUTY, as they say. That is: Develop Character AND Advance the Plot. 3) Also, you need to have some subplots too -one or two? I don't know. Again, you must keep subplot scenes -think "B", "C" stories. And again, also in these "B" and "C" stories, it's the scenes that develop character and advance the plot in their respective stories. There are so many ways to approach a rewrite, but I think doing the above will go a log way in helping you to clear the clutter. DID I SAY THAT ONCE YOU FIND THOSE SCENES YOU NEED TO GET RID OF THE REST? Yes, you need to throw away everything that doesn't belong in the Main Story Line and the one or two - or three- subplot story lines you've chosen to develop. AND, you can always review your action and description. Trim the fat. Make them tighter. In this area, what you're supposed to remember is that you should not be describing thing that are not related to the plot somehow... For example, if you're describing a car your MC uses to escape from the Antagonist, you don't really need to get into the make and model of the car, or how fuel efficient it is - if it's not important to the story. AND you don't need to describe actions that are not relevant to the story. I don't know if this makes sense to you - I can be a little verbose. :-) Etc. etc. etc. I hope this helps. Send me a message if you have any other questions or need help. Keep writing! P

I have just been informed that the best strategy for screenwriting is to re-invent the wheel. I can't add anything to that.

All the tips are wonderful! I just get a pdf copy... read thru it and make my changes from there... then go back to the original script and make changes. for me, it's a little easier when I can physically thumb thru the pages because I can see the entire script without running the risk of cutting something important. sometimes the scrolling up and down and then remembering what you cut, where you cut it can get a little challenging. That's my little method. It may be expensive, but to me it's my birds eye view.

@Rob @Eliza thanks so much guys. will do. Rob, no it isn't. Thank god!

Very happy to hear that, Jessica. And it shows how deeply you can connect emotionally with the material even if (thank god) you didnt live it. Keep posting!

The gathering of yourself up front is fine. One must imagine a question has been asked and you're preparing to answer. The entire performance was commendable. The language was spot on. One would imagine that perhaps some time has passed since the event so some tone with the words like "Fuck" and "Bareback" would work there way into your means to express them...Congratulations. Don't change a thing.

I thought Richie was going to coach you. What happened?

Hello Eliza and sorry I didn't answer sooner. But yes I was looking forwards to going to his classes, but I was awaiting for the money to pay him, during that time I notice he removed me from his list so I guess he tough I was a bluff. It was kind of rude for him to do that without at least telling me. I kind of like the guy, I tough he had allot to offer, I really did. Unfortunately I have to look for another one. I'm approved to start at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts this year but I have to wait till October. I want to take classes for now at least. I have been staying active I thank God by getting Acting gigs around the city. Thank you for asking Eliza. Have a bless day.

Your link is not working.

Five minutes of awesomeness!

Great work look me up in LA.

Mark, I did not create this. Only shared it because I loved it. Cheers!

There are people who say they want to be actors then there are actors. Danny and Eric we're proud of you always.
