“Unlocking the Mind of Blake Crouch: The Dark Obsessions That Fuel His Thrilling Stories”
You can do this when you’re in the early “blue skies” writing of a script, but as Crouch also advises, screenwriting is a “process of contraction. You’re cutting away and cutting away and cutting away.”
“In screenplay form, you have to distill those meandering themes down to their essence, cutting away everything nonessential, and asking yourself ‘Does this scene need to exist?’ And if you can’t answer that question, then it needs to go. But if it does need to exist, then ‘What is the best version of this scene? What are we really finding out? What do the two characters want and what is the point of conflict?’”
