Mike Sweeney Drops Shocking Truths About the ‘New Screenwriting Rules’ – Are You Ready to Rethink Everything?
7. Plot must be organic, locally grown, and non-GMO. Farm-to-table your story!
8. Dialogue may only be spoken by ONE CHARACTER in each scene. Choose wisely.
9. Stakes should be high. Entire space-time continuum in peril is good start but THINK BIGGER. Also, steaks should be high for a nice sear.
10. Make main character as likeable as possible. Instead of saving a cat, make them a cat! Everyone loves cats!
As I say: There are no screenwriting rules. There are conventions, patterns, paradigms. Know them, but don’t let them constrain your creativity.
