The Screenwriting Trick That Changed How I Write Scenes


Listen Later

Screenwriting isn’t about stuffing your script with detail—it’s about clarity, rhythm, and impact. In this episode, I share an eye-opening writing exercise passed down from director Jude Weng (Only Murders in the Building, Black-ish), where students compare what they think a scene looks like in a script versus how it was actually written. Spoiler: less is more. I break down how to do this exercise yourself, what it reveals about overwriting, and why this method will sharpen your screenwriting instincts faster than most traditional advice.🔔 Subscribe for more movie reviews, storytelling insights, and creative discussions!
