Description

The first five minutes and the last five minutes may be the most important pages of any spec screenplay, but the scenes that shift the story in a new direction, whether the inciting incident or the end of an act, are critical scenes and must be crafted with care. Screenwriting author Paul Chitlik takes a look at these critical scenes.
