November 24, 2020 Scriptnotes, Three Page Challenge, Transcribed

John and Craig host another round of the Three Page Challenge. This week they cover how to use voice over, build suspense, and write alter egos for the screen.

In follow up, we look at the day-and-date release of Wonder Woman 1984, updates in the WGA agency negotiations and of course the newly announced Uno game show.

Finally, in our bonus segment for premium members we discuss autobiographies and what we’d include in our own.

Thank you to all our Three Page Challenge participants!
