Just like real estate, screenwriting requires its own curb appeal. The first ten pages are the riviera of a screenplay. They dictate the value of the rest of the property. Traditionally, you have ten pages to earn page eleven because busy agents and producers are all looking for reasons to stop reading. Not engaged by page 3? Pass. Confused by page 7? Pass. No idea what this movie is about by page 10? Pass - with prejudice. What makes one beachfront a destination and another a barren stretch of sand? This virtual conversation, led by AFI Screenwriting Faculty Jesse Wigutow, examines screenplays that guide readers seamlessly from page one to page eleven, exploring what makes them compelling and why building your own Riviera is one of screenwriting's greatest challenges.
