Good article. Start a scene late, then end it early.
Exactly. It's amazing how much you can get away with once you start chopping.
That's a good look, Charles. Thank you
And the same goes for the entire plot: start late in the story and end with the briefest possible resolution after the climax. The advice we sometimes see rattling around the internet that Act I is exposition is a sure recipe for a rewrite -- probably by a jobbed-in screenwriter.
Tired of the rejection? Hear directly from the Programming Director and the Shorts Director of the Atlanta Film Festival talk about everything from how to make a "festival worthy" film to knocking your cover letter out of the park. http://www.cinematlmagazine.com/cinematl-reel-ga/2014/11/13/want-to-...
