Resolve… The story could be excitingly dynamic if I do more research. Again, revisiting my second feature that, after having it analyzed four months ago, presents a much more demanding exercise than my first. I’m convinced it is because the world I’ve created is diverse.

Let’s review, shall we?
Over the past year since I started Screenwriting: The Script Adventure, I’ve learned a few things: notably that filmmaking, like all professions, is not to be taken lightly. That is to say, just because what you saw at the movies or on television looks like it’s done easily doesn’t mean it is. It means the team who presented it know how to do what they’re doing, and do it well. I’ve come to recognize three crucial aspects of filmmaking: story, socializing, and profit.
