Tristan and Yseut Screenplay Episode: The Army of Lepers
Sorry for leaving you hanging for three weeks, wondering if Tristan and Yseut will be executed by fire after being caught in bed together by King Mark! We pick up the story on the following morning...

I hope you enjoyed this week's episode--I'd love to hear what you think! In case you were wondering why the lepers had Brooklyn accents, that scene was a spoof off one in Martin Scorcese's student film, Who's That Knocking at my Door. ;) Be sure to tune in next week to find out what happens next!

Excellent post!
Good.Have you been writing long?
Thanks. :) I've been at it for a few years.
I’m following so keep up the good work! Ever read ‘Save the Cat?
Thanks, I'm really happy to know that! I haven't read Save the Cat but I'm familiar with the concept. I know this screenplay doesn't exactly fit the traditional "screenplay structure," which is why I think it would work better as a series, with each of these scenes being developed into an episode. It's a long story and there's a lot of humorous potential there. :)
You may be right but don't make that decision too soon. I'm in the 7th, year with one of my screenplays. Often they have a life of their own! You just keep writing and then things start falling into place. Save the Cat gives you insight into what a Studio Executive wants to see in a screenplay. It's not without its shortcomings but is a good perspective on screenwriting.
