PODCAST – Buildout Your Script, part 2: A Decision Every Moment

When every possibility starts to feel possible, it becomes incredibly difficult to make decisions.

Which brings me back to my wiring conundrum. Because ultimately my decision was to spend a little bit of extra money, and run some extra wires, even though they might turn out to be redundant or unnecessary. Because I don't know exactly what the purpose is yet, or exactly what’s going to work yet, or exactly what these rooms are going to become over the next ten years.

But I know this is important to me. That it’s something worth exploring. And that even if I don’t know what to do with every wire at the moment, I’ll figure it out eventually.

Sometimes that's the process of writing as well. They're all good wires, but some of them are leading to places they need to lead and some will hang there and never be used.

In a screenplay, those wires need to be removed, because we only have 95-105 pages, and we don't want to distract from the things that are actually important...
