@jacobkrueger When I'm doing a fast read for a rewrite assignment I'll skip dialogue and focus on what characters *do*. Story. #scriptchat

@wcmartell I think we're saying the same thing. I love dialogue that plays against action. Curious why "placeholder" dialogue? #scriptchat

@wcmartell which is odd. Some execs I know read only the dialogue when considering a script. Action should triumph. #shrug #scriptchat

I always just drop in a note ala "He says something funny here." @wcmartell @jacobkrueger cant come up with the perfect dialogue #scriptchat"

Jacob Krueger Studio @jacobkrueger5h
@wcmartell That makes sense. Often when students say "placeholder," they are not thinking what the dialogue does as action.n #scriptchat

Jacob Krueger Studio @jacobkrueger5h
@thepitchfest I'm more likely to write the not funny line that does what the character wants, and make it funny later. #scriptchat
