Study Tár if you struggle with dialogue. Nothing in it is “about” what people say. It’s about power. Yet, Lydia rarely raises her voice. She frames conversations so other people reveal themselves while she stays protected.

Streamers are quietly pushing for tighter episodes and leaner runtimes. Writers rooms are also being asked to break seasons like long features instead of padded serials. Therefore, your pilot and series engine have to work harder and faster. #screenwriting #screenwriter

French film bodies and the CNC just agreed on a landmark deal setting minimum fees and better pay for screenwriters before production starts. A rare structural win creators can point to globally.

All the President’s Men (1976) proves tension comes from cause and effect, not spectacle. Questions, choices, consequences. That’s how scenes earn momentum and impact.

The Art of Dramatic Writing by Lajos Egri explains why characters drive story, not plot. Egri’s concept forces every scene to prove something through conflict and choice. If your story feels structurally fine but emotionally hollow, this book shows you why. #screenwriting

Most scripts don’t fail because the idea is weak. They fail on execution. Drifting structure, passive characters, scenes that don’t change anything. Good writing isn’t adding more. It’s sharpening what’s already there.

ScriptSerious Weekly Watch: Michael Clayton (2007)
Recommended because it introduces character through professional behavior, not backstory. A strong reference for writing morally compromised protagonists without leaning on exposition.
