Screenwriting 101: Mark Rosenthal

“The joy of screenwriting comes from its pure narrative requirements. It’s a little like haiku in its need for compression (prose is an expansive art form, by contrast), like comic books in the tumbling out-of-control gait that forms the rhythm for each beat, and, most of all, like storytelling as it first must have developed along with language — a secret shared that seeks to elicit ‘Tell me what happened next!’”
