Yesterday there was a question about the 1 page = 1 min rule (which I was taught 30+ yrs ago and doesn’t seem to be true anymore). I am currently working on a character-focused romantic comedy in which there will be a lot of unspoken onscreen time (on both the romantic and the comedy side). My question: Have you ever found a table read (local actors, on your own dime) to be helpful to you in what your actual screen time might look like, and if the page count doesn’t accurately represent it (in either direction), is that something you want to share with a reader etc.? Thanks!

Huge congrats to Dan & all of Big Mistakes on their Season 2 pickup!

Can anyone recommend podcasts/YT that (a) are about writing rom-coms specifically, and/or (b) analyzing both the classics and looking at those that *don't* work, and why? Features, not TV. Much appreciated in advance!
