Welcome to the Fade to Black collection on Medium. Great movies start with great writing and this collection allows literary fans the opportunity for discussing, sharing, and dissecting the creation and execution of screenplays.

Whether you are interested in writing your own screenplay, helping others edit theirs, or are just wishing to discuss your favourite lines from your favourite films, this is the place for you. People can share techniques and tips ranging from getting started to presenting your idea for production.

One of my all time favourite lines from before I’d even seen the movie!

Fade to Black is a place where criticism should be constructive. The truth can hurt, but great writers listen to and learn from feedback. As a person offering criticism, a great tip should add value to the screenplay without detracting from the writers vision.

Happy writing!
