Believe it or not, there are different opinions on the internet. I am not alone in the opinion that a script is the single most important piece of equipment in film-making.

I have started writing dozens of narrative scripts. I’ve finished a few. Congolese was the first short-film script where I felt confident that I had adhered to a number of script writing suggestions and had come away with a good script.
