These are some of the best things no one mentions. I truly appreciate it you're educating me.

I've never failed.. I've always passed!

I have watched and rewatched many of your vids. They are always full of good information and you present it in an engaging manner. Thank you. Everything I have seen from you has to do with feature-length films. While I have several of those simmering in the background, my first script is for a short. So... Can you do a vid on shorts, mostly on structuring them and character depth? Please? Thanks for considering this.

Thank You for this. Do you have a similar video on pitches? I scored 33 out of 35 on my written pitch and had favourable notes but also some fixes that I definitely will do. But, despite the high marks, it was still considered a pass. What would be some of the reasons for that? Maybe a future video on that.

In my latest script I started writing with a clear protagonist. But in writing I found that the antagonist was actually a more interesting character and drove the movie more than the protagonist, who was mostly reacting. However, by the end of the movie the antagonist has been reformed, so I wonder if this character could in fact be both the protagonist and antagonist, with the original protagonist being a supporting character. The antagonist does share the same clear goal as the original protagonist, so the story is still about someone who wants something, has difficulty getting it, and in this case doesn't get it. I could "fix" this problem (and I suppose this video is telling me I damn well should) but I feel it would make for a less interesting movie.

EDIT: There ain't much engagement here, but in case anyone reads this I came across the concept of a group protagonist e.g. avengers. I think my story works under that premise where 3 characters are fighting towards one goal, with one of those characters simply going too far in trying to achieve that goal setting himself against the other two protagonists, but with them all being aligned at the end once more.
