It’s a travel day for me so I don’t have time for a full post. I will try to get posts up tomorrow and Friday but there are no promises since I’m technically on vacation.
I wanted to take this opportunity to shout out my favorite movie of all time, Back to the Future. Still the de facto screenplay when it comes to teaching setups and payoffs. There are 100+ setups and payoffs in this script. More than any other film by far.
As I’ve said here before, setups and payoffs are the best “bang for your buck” screenplay tool you have at your disposal. Go watch this movie now and learn how to set up and payoff yourself to a great script!
