Screenwriting 101: Charles Randolph

“I like the experience of reading to feel like an experience of film. So I use spacing, add more air for a scene that should move quickly, then three or four description blocks in scene where I want you to slow down. I’m trying to mimic form and content on the page. I try to stop it, but I catch myself literally working on line so the margins work out. I get very obsessive that way.”
