Hi, writers! I'd like to talk about length of dialogues in feature scripts. I always loved long ones. In fact, I think that ability to make a 10+ pages dialogue – it's what separates men from boys. But when I started submitting my stuff to contests, absolutely every reader told me same – shorter is...

I'm researching for a biopic that I want to write, about a famous singer. A film was made about this person, several decades ago; however, it was: poorly scripted, not well researched and the acting also left loads to be desired. Also my sources for the bio are coming from various media: online, vid...
