Story
Gill has taught screenwriting for 20 years at such institutions as Drexel University, the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and East Carolina University, and he’s noticed a common pattern among his students. First-time screenwriters are generally excited and full of ideas—until they hit a wall: “It feels good until they get somewhere between pages 20–30,” he notes. “Then, they run out of things to write about. Why is there nowhere else to go? Why is it so short? Where is the rest of the story? What do they do now?”
