Get Ready To Learn The Secret.
Forget what you think you know about what makes a movie commercial. A great hook doesn’t come from selling out or trying to anticipate Hollywood’s next flavor of the week. Rather, it grows organically out of very impulses that drove you to write in the first place. It’s suggested in every facet of your character’s journey, and in every word you write. The art of the screenwriter is learning to make this hook as visceral for the audience as it is for you.
