One of the most important ways you can learn the craft of screenwriting is by watching movies. Studying them. Breaking them down sequence by sequence, scene by scene. Tracking the story’s pace and the flow of its narrative.

Of film as visual storytelling…
Of the power of this wonderful medium…
Of your ultimate goal: to see your movie up on that screen.
