Screenwriting 101: Scott Rosenberg

“My rule is always, if I finish a spec script, there’s five people that I give it to. I will take a few weeks off while they’re reading it, and think about other things, and then start getting their notes. They’re five very different people, and if some of them have the same notes… you know, it’s that ‘if three people tell you you’re drunk, lie down’ thing. Once you have some distance from it, you go back.”
