[BACK]

Starting a new screenplay, be it short or full-length, is a wonderful feeling. It's like meeting someone new and falling love. But new screenplays, like new relationships, get problematic fast. So you either end them or work at them.

If you're going to work at your now problematic screenplay, you will finish it because you have a resolve. Completing the first draft is, as I've said before, a daunting experience. But once you've completed it, never forget that the real work now begins.

If you're writing a short film that you're going to shoot, say 10 or 15 pages, there's no reason you can't rewrite it five times. Or ten. I don't mean page one rewrites, but going over scenes, lines and even words.

This is how your script gets better and better. Not by adding, but by cutting. And even when you're shooting it you'll make changes. And then when you're editing it you'll make more changes. Cuts. Edits. Get used to cutting and minimizing and it will serve you well.
