Screenwriting 101: Chris Terrio

“I have a theory that a good screenplay gives us memorable dialogue; a great one, memorable silences. When a true master screenwriter comes along — and they’re about as rare as a Javan rhino — he captures life as it is, both in the words his characters say and in the ones they don’t. It takes a writer — even a master writer — a long time to figure out what to write; it takes longer to figure out what not write.”
