I can't say I've ever felt the desire to write a screenplay but this feels like super handy info for any writer to have regardless. Sweet video :)

Really interesting to see the difference between play script writing and film script writing. :)

I've thought about attempting screenwriting a time or two. I've never done it thought. I knew a little about the format before watching this vid, but this was very very informative.

Also, have you ever thought about using a screenwriting esk style (maybe more wordy in the descriptions and stuff) to fast draft the bones of a novel? I've been tossing that idea around in my head for a while.

Hey Aaron, I'm currently writing a screenplay of my own version of the Star Wars sequels. Since I know they will never actually be put to film, do you still recommend sticking with the industry standard rules?
