I’m seriously considering giving screenplay format lessons for like dirt cheap. It seems these big film schools have forgotten the importance of teaching the format. Just because you have Final Draft or Celtx, it does not mean you don’t need to know the backbone of screenplays: the format. It’s super important to production and when you have to break the script into elements, you need to have it properly formatted so the production can get the departments working in pre-production.

This is something some Austin productions seem to have an issue with. That’s fine. But please, start learning screenplay format if you’re going to have a script produced.

And on that note, if anyone wants me to teach them screenplay format or just go through their screenplay and clean it up, please contact me. I will help you out for like… next to nothing.
