Wanted: Scene-By-Scene Script Breakdowns

Earn some creative juju by adding to our growing online resource.

I am looking for volunteers to read a script and provide a scene-by-scene breakdown for it to be used as part of our weekly series. What do you get out from it? Beyond your name being noted here, my personal thanks, and some creative juju sent your way, hopefully you will learn something about story structure and develop another skill set which is super helpful in learning and practicing the craft.

The latest volunteers:

A Monster Calls / Andrew Turner

Anthropoid / Marija Nielsen

Arrival / Ashish Chand

Captain Fantastic / Despina Karintis

And check this out: La La Land is now available for download! Go here to see it and the 47 total screenplays made available by movie studios and production companies.

Who wants to break down La La Land? I’d love to do a script read and analysis of this movie starting on February 20th.

Now is YOUR chance to contribute to this most worthy cause and provide an additional resource for the online screenwriting community.

And if you’ve volunteered (see list above), the sooner you send me your breakdown, the sooner we can dig into some more script analysis.

Thanks, everyone!
