As part of my job I read hundreds of scripts, but this one stood out because it breaks almost every screenwriting convention out there... and it does it well!

In this video I break down the Scott Beck and Bryan Woods draft of "A Quiet Place" to see how defying convention can make for a greater reading experience.
