Our last two episodes of DRAFT ZERO break down the use of secrets-and-clues in WAKE UP DEAD MAN, SIDE EFFECTS, and SHRINKING. Listen if you want to learn how you can use secrets - discovering and revealing them - to create emotional impact on your characters and your audience!

Shamelessly re-plugging this episode on how ADOLESCENCE maintains tension despite not cutting following its many deserved Emmy wins: draft-zero.com/2025/dz-118/

DZ-119 drops! We examine how the final choice of your protagonist can create a great ending by successfully wrapping up the character arc and theme in one go. We look at DUNGEONS&DRAGONS, FINDING NEMO, MICHAEL CLAYTON, PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN and TALK TO ME! draft-zero.com/2025/dz-119/

In Draft Zero Ep111, we deep dive into FIGHT CLUB and unreliable narrators, and breakdown how the VOICEOVER reflects how much control "Jack" (#EdwardNorton) has over the telling of his story. buff.ly/4fz62Tf #screenwriting #filmmaking #fightclub

New episode drops! We continue our exploration of craft tools that communicate directly to the audience with a deep dive into the most blatant tool of all: breaking the 4th wall in HIGH FIDELITY, ABBOTT ELEMENTARY & FLEABAG! draft-zero.com/2024/dz-112/ #scriptchat #screenwriting

Some great advice in this thread! And if you're interested in some more detail, we did a long live-stream with Marc Furmie on pitch decks: youtu.be/T5u1uzKNVQs

Characters talk when they want something. And when they talk to the audience its because they want something from them. Join us in DZ-109 as we breakdown the ways that characters can talk directly to the audience and how to make it work in your script! buff.ly/4bLaHyD
