Geeking out about HIGHEST 2 LOWEST. Love Spike. Am a Denzel stan. And this is a Kurosawa remake. Been almost 20 years since these two worked together! INSIDE MAN was one of my favorite movies from the aughts.

Great case for write what you know here about the writer/director of BULL DURHAM, Ron Shelton. From the book "Baseball: The Movie" by Noah Gittell.

On Final Draft, under the format tab, there is a section for Font. You can change sizes, colors, fonts, etc. You can even use custom fonts if you add them to Font Book on Mac and then restart the program. The font used below is an example. You can also add a photo under Insert > Image.

A page from my script. I wanted readers to really see how this unique montage would play out on screen. Found it much more dynamic than spending a bunch of lines over-explaining what I think the filmmakers should do. Jerking them out of the story. There are good reasons to do this stuff sometimes!

Yessssss, Tom. I love a quirky transition. Used "LOOP TO" in my kooky Bo Jackson time loop story where he can't escape 1991 without suffering an injury and rebooting.

Love it! Well done. If it makes you feel better, I am ALWAYS theatrical lol. This is my current secondary antagonist (who I needed to make worse than my primary anatagonist).

Nice. Love these kinds of characters! Rich assholes are a blast to write. And you INSTANTLY get the essence of the guy you described. Here's a rich asshole villain from a crazy telepathic octopus script I wrote, OCHO.

That's hilarious. Interesting how both sparse and detailed can work. I definitely push the limits. But I think they are a great moment to flex voice and capture the cast's essence. Here's a recent example of mine:
