Screenwriting 101

Screenplays are often defined as the blueprints for a movie, the document that will guide the filmmaking and storytelling processes from beginning to end. Screenwriting is also conceived as one of the most difficult writing tasks in the world, due to its limitations (page count, writing style, tense, etc.), limitations novelists and poets don’t have.

It is amazing how one movie can start a change, especially when it comes to big issues like gender bias in Hollywood. Congratulations.
