Obviously taken to literally.

Of course you wouldn't film it, you and I both know that. Maybe I should have said anyone would struggle to film it because it is an unfilmable.

I have made a film... albeit a not very good one, I still got a team together and made a ten minute film.

Not everything in a script needs to be filmable. It's not just our job to write a blueprint for a film, we must also make it read well. Bending the rules and using the odd unfilmable or aside is perfectly acceptable in well written scripts.

I hear you, I like the odd unfilmable or aside. It's something that I get picked up for in my scripts.

Being relatively new at this, I just mention what I see in relation to the little that I know and what I get called out for.

I expect I'll never get told off by you for the same thing

Good luck with it. I'm sure it will make a great piece.

It's only really for writers just starting out. I was told the same thing then stripped all personality from my work. After a while, I started putting it back in, but in the right way. I just see it as another writer's tool that we should use sparingly, like modifying verbs. Too much comes across as forced and amateurish.

You're a good writer so shouldn't have any problems.

Thanks again, and good luck with your own projects.
