#Screenplay

A screenplay is the magician's blueprint that puppeteers actors before the stage or screen. Rows of words shuttle between dream and reality, spawning new stories the more they are read, yet inevitably imprisoned by deadlines and budgets. It endures countless rewrites at the whims of directors and producers, only to be buried unseen. Lines penned in hope of praise are curiously simplified on set, and what seemed perfect dialogue is reduced to a pile of cuts.
