Considerations of Script Readers

It’s important to understand that script readers like executives, agents, and showrunners often have limited time to read through scripts, leading them to make quick decisions based on the first 10 pages. These industry professionals look for specific elements in the opening pages that indicate whether a script is worth further consideration. This includes a compelling hook, clear narrative direction, engaging characters, and a strong command of filmic language. They need to quickly gather enough compelling information to decide if the script has the potential to be successful and resonate with audiences.
