How to Make Your Script STAND OUT from The Crowd! (Adapting Script Format)
This week, Rob & Kay are talking about how to (safely) “adapt” your style, in order to make YOUR script stand out from the crowd of stale, sterile, scripts out there adhering to the stodgy, and frankly typical, screenwriting formatted norms.
Our Weekly Resource:
We've got a list of scripts that broke screenwriting format, and yet SOLD: Kate, A Quiet Place, The Matrix, Michael Clayton, Nightcrawler (no sluglines), Cobweb (left justified format), Oppenheimer (in 1st person), Little Women (color-coded), The Beaver (opening montage), Wall-e (no dialogue, stacked action), Sound of Metal (paragraphs of desc.)
