    Thanks for the love for this video! A few things:
    1) Emily used Final Draft 11.
    2) Many people have asked us about the length of the video — the clock was paused every time we asked Emily to explain what she was doing.
    3) What movie genre should we do next?

    The thing I find most interesting is how different screenwriting is compared to writing something like a book, pretty cool!

    This is incredibly inspirational. I am honestly so impressed — usually sit at the computer for a long time before I even think about what I could possibly write next.

    Now rewrite season 8 of Game of Thrones, 7 minutes is more than enough to make it better.

    You should’ve gotten a director to bring this to life in a certain amount of time, like 30 mins each scene

    THIS!!! Is what I’ve been waiting for all these years. Someone going through the process and watching and listening to someone gives me so much confidence and assurance that I’m not alone at staring at the blinking cursor on the screen.
