    I still have my well worn copy (duct tape on the backing) of Screenplay that I bought in late 1979, and every few years I'll take it down and read it again. It's become an old and trusted friend.

      This is cool,, duct tape seems to holding a lot of good things together still to this day! Hope your well!

    I feel that Save the Cat, Screenplay, and Story are the holy trinity of screenwriting....Story is more theoretical, save the cat is most practical, and Screenplay is in the middle....

    This makes sense because timing is important. I find it hard to start the story tho

    Can this paradigm be used to write a story for a book, for example, of a particular person's experience fleeing from a country that's run by a dictatorship who's story can potentially turn into a movie? Thanks...

      Probably. A story structure often has a beginning, middle and an end.

    Great video!
    You just answered one of my biggest questions in script writing
    Also; I'd like to ask you to make a video about romance and love story plot and character
    You know; I have this problem that I don't know how much attention and screen time give to the two lovers of the story and other related problems.
    I would be glad to see a video on this topic
    Thank you so much for your teaching and hardwork
