There is perhaps no profession in the art form of filmmaking as foundational as screenwriting. It’s the script and all that it entails ideas, themes, characters, plot points that serves as the seed that later blooms into a proper motion picture. There’s no set formula for what makes a screenplay great, which is precisely what’s allowed an admirable variety of scripts to excel throughout the years. Whether it’s a character-driven fantasy epic, a subtext-filled dramedy, an explosive action thriller, or whatever other kind of film one can think of, absolutely anything can make for an exceptional screenplay.
