Screenwriting : Unfilmables... by Wendy Okoi-Obuli

Unfilmables...

Thought I'd share his great blog post about "unfilmables" - you know those bits of script narrative that convey the tone but don't necessarily described the action... that thing that new writers are all too often told not to do but which we often read in scripts of films we admire. I remember reading an early draft of Charlie Kaufman's "Being John Malkovich" and thinking "but, but, but..." But, with time, I've come to understand that knowing the rules is not half as important as knowing how/when to bend the rules. http://gointothestory.blcklst.com/2012/06/the-curse-of-so-called-unfilma...
