I suppose that would be a good place to start. I’m not sure that I can really pinpoint when my interest in film developed, but there is a definite moment where the screenplay became a distinct object of appreciation for me.
In 7th grade I took a class called “Media” and one of our assignments was to write a screenplay. Our teacher gave us a brief rudimentary lesson in formatting, spacing, indentations, capitalizations and the usual. I had always enjoyed writing stories, so at that point the screenplay became a way for me write stories visually in a form that did not care so much about the traditional features of prose literature—diction, imagery, syntax and the like. I was naïve then.
