Mortal Kombat - from Rackaracka
@Alan Brash @David Hinnebusch @Chris Dyer We talked about this in the New Member Coaching today... a YouTube short that broke out and was part of what lead Danny and Michael Philippou aka Rackaracka to break into making mainstream horror like the fantastically dark Talk to Me. This is intense, so you've been warned!

Condensing the Action
I've now read 3 other Forge members' scripts that i believe are really good at just getting to the point in their Action. I know there's more of you out here. My ask? How would you economize the following Action segment? -------------------------- She turns and sprints back towards the office. Jacob continues walking, his drink in hand, almost smiling as he walks past the now empty therapy rooms. At the elevator, he looks down an adjoining darkened hallway. The entrance is blocked by a cable attached to two stanchions. Jacob looks around then stealthily slips over the cable into the hallway. He’s the only person on the floor. It’s dark other than light coming from a frosted window on a door near the end. He slowly moves towards it. As he gets closer, the sound of faint voices is heard. Screaming voices.

my challenge with this is I don't know the context so for me to strengthen this I need to know what happened prior to this? why is this woman sprinting? why is he in there alone? is there a reason people are screaming and is that connected to the woman sprinting? if you want, send me the page before and after this scene.
A different kind of script
Hi everyone I know we do screenplays for movies and TV. But I also did a comic book episode 1 script. Let me know what you think of my first comic book. It’s based off my first novel I wrote.

Good for you. Curious to read it in script form.
You can't have a vision without eye sight.
I thought of a silly video game movie. Tonight I finished two small scene's from the first two days of shooting. 9 tracks. I just have to get with my screenwriter and hire my voice and avatar actors now. 2, 2 hourhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVu0_Ve9MEo shooting days. 1 week of editing. 3 minutes of movie. I should be in post within 5 months!

Agreed its a lot to manage and knowing when to delegate is important.
Actor or director?
Here's something that's been on my mind: I recently saw MARTY SUPREME, and whether you like him or not, Timothee Chalamet is an extraordinary actor. If you haven't seen it, it's directed by Josh Safdi who directed UNCUT GEMS. I also recently watched an episode of SOMEBODY FEED PHIL where a friend of his tells a story of how he was once on set watching a taping of EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND and how they did a scene, then right after, Phil (Rosenthal, creator & director of ELR) went individually to each actor and gave them his notes. They went again and the scene was so much better. So my question is, who's more important: actor or director?

Probably depends on the director, the script and the actor.
