cover it.

there are certain things that I definitely
will have to develop.

No. 1 Tip aspiring filmmakers.

Learn how to write coverage.

Coverage is a synopsis and comments for a producer or another lofty
decision maker to know the skinny on a script.

Whether it is good or bad.. needs work, what is wrong with it and what is good.

The amount of scripts a production company may have submitted to it prohibits the
people at the top from reading each one so it is handed off to the smaller people to
make sure it is worth their time.
Coverage has to be an accurate and objective interpretation of the script. You can't omit stuff because it is stupid or not exciting.. yet you have to be concise and make sure you only give the bare basics. Concise is 3/4 a page.

super hard.

But this is good. CLARITY. I will obtain it!!!
