agency and agent but I had to let them go because I didn&#39;t feel they were giving my works or myself 100%. Now, I am very very happy to say that I am
representing my works myself and doing a very professional job with it. So, I want you all to go to Moviebytes.com, click on search, type in my name - Natorya

<br>
<br>
I&#39;m currently writing a screenplay in which, Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees of Halloween and Friday the 13th fame TEAM UP.  In one particular scene which
takes place in a gym, after Jason disposes of a couple of gym members, he is about to slice and dice three attractive young women who are on treadmills, when
he gets distracted by a loud, obnoxious person entering the gym.  I WANT... ]]></description>

interruption?  Such as a lengthy speech or whatnot.
<br>
<br>
I keep reading mixed information about this.
<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve read in Trottier&#39;s &quot;Screenwriter&#39;s Bible&quot; that it&#39;s &quot;fashionable&quot; these days to either end it all on the
&quot;first&quot; page,  or move the start of the dialogue onto the next page.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ In my current script, the protagonist spends the whole time countering the established antagonist. A couple of times I plant events that one assumes is being driven by the antagonist. However, in the final act the hammer is dropped on the protagonist not by the established antagonist, but by a character that has been established as a friend to the protagonist. Its a kind of switcharoo. <br><br>My question is, does this come off as just plain cruel or cheap to the reader/viewer? Keep in mind... ]]></description>
