The script for our latest film project has been going through some significant rewrites of late.
Which means we have been "killing" some of our darlings. Not literally, of course; but you know, those scenes or anecdotes that you as writer are particularly fond of.
Or as Samuel Johnson once advised: "Read over your compositions, and wherever you meet with a passage which you think is particularly fine, strike it out."
Hmmm... That's easier said than done.
But, here we go; dissecting the screenplay, scene-by-scene to figure out which parts really move the story forward. And which parts need to go into our backburner files.
