If the story you're telling, is the story you're telling, you're in deep shit.

All writing is discipline, but screenwriting is a drill sergeant.

Secure writers don't sell first drafts. They patiently rewrite until the script is as director-ready, as actor-ready as possible. Unfinished work invites tampering, while polished, mature work seals its integrity.

We shape the telling to fit the substance, rework the substance to support the design.
