Screenwriter Stuart Wright talks with script reader, author and BFI Network Talent Executive about a blog she wrote about her thoughts (on diversity, authenticity and more) after reading 400 scripts during Oct 2021.

We boiled it down to 5 main points for discussion:

1. What makes a good reader?
2. What readers look for
3. Avoid (or play with) clichés and stereotypes
4. Let us in – and then read the room
5. Don’t squander the blank page
