I'm a newbie and adapting my first novel into a screenplay. I was wondering how to handle the issue of foreign language. One of my two protagonists and ...
Paul, While giving you my opinion on your question, allow me to make two points. Based on the fact that you described yourself as a newbie, I take it that you...

For the most part this is true, although once in a while you'll get a critique from someone who gets the spirit of which both Zoetrope and Triggerstreet were...
