K e i t h

Script vs. Film in a deathmatch! The First 10 Pages is a fun script analysis podcast! I'm Keith, a screenwriter you've never heard of who's had a chance to pitch on projects like Man of Steel and The Fantastic Four. Now, I'm discussing what studios say is the MOST crucial part of any script -- the first 10 pages! Because if you don't capture that executive or their reader in those first 10 pages, your project is likely....DOOMED!

Also, it's possible I had too much fun with the script read! Come on in, the sequels are warm and the hypersleep capsules are cold!
