This one-liner is both cinematic and poetic. It is also visual and effectual for directors to paint those pictures in their minds. Ultimately making them want to shoot it.

The first dialogue is not too far down the first page

A director confessed, "When I get a script, even if I don't plan to read it at that moment, I will always want to take a little peak. The first dialogue is extremely critical because I'm going to hear, imagine, and connect with the character."

Surprise your reader (and yourself) with the first and every dialogue

A couple is sitting in a restaurant staring at the menu.

The gentleman, "I want tofu with spicy ketchup."

He turns to his girlfriend, "What do you want?"

She looks him in the eye, "I want breakup."

Storytelling on the fast lane

Unlike novels, screenplays are all about economy. Every word counts. Every line earns its place. Unlike instruction manuals, you don't use film language such as lenses, camera angles, etc. Don't overwrite. Just advance your story. "Start fast, finish slow; write fast, rewrite slow".

Originality is the new quality
