Is Longer Better?

When is comes to screenwriting… longer isn't always better.  The business part of entertainment can be challenging.  If you are an established writer, producers and studios are more willing to take risks based on your track record.  New screenwriters have many challenges when breaking into the business.  It is often better to write a shorter feature script.  The business folks look at each page as a problem in one form or another and so… Do you want to risk 120 pages of problems or 90?  This is how the business part of entertainment works.  Once a film is given the green light, inevitably there will be problems and challenges and so if you are a novice writer or one with few credits then make yourself attractive by writing a great 90 page screenplay.
