Screenwriting 101: Craig Borten

“When I write a scene, I write from the inside‑out. It’s basically what is the scene building to, what is the heart of the scene, what is that moment, and I’m usually trying to capture that moment. Then, I’ll build things around how I get there and how I get out of there.”
