Screenwriting 101: Scott Neustadter

“Managers, agents, executives, they want nothing more than to read something amazing. But remember their patience is thin. Yours isn’t the only script in the pile nor is it ever going to be something they’d rather do than the fifteen other things they could be doing with their time. So if you’re smart, you’ll make sure at the very least your first 20 pages kick serious ass. Hook that first reader, get them reading because they’re INTERESTED, because they actually want to — and then it’s off to the races.”
