Independent film producer, former studio exec and media expert Adam Leipzig answers Lisa’s question, “How long should my film screenplay be, and does it matter?” Adam answers in about 2 minutes that it does matter, because a script that’s too long shows you haven’t polished it enough, and may be too expensive to shoot.
