ABSTRACT
Scripts reveal a lot not just about the narrative but also about those involved in the project itself. You want early access to it, first to determine whether it’s a project worth the commitment and secondly so that you can raise questions early enough about how the producer and director plan to tackle particular areas. If all you keep getting handed is brief outlines, you may want to question your continuing involvement. Scripts are the skeletons of any visual project; those who struggle to get anything down on paper by themselves or without the help of those more qualified may not be the most appropriate individuals to trust with such an undertaking.
