## Resource

In Episode 4 of Rewrite In Motion, we continue using AI to illustrate the imagery in this Screenplay "Untitled Action Cop vs Stripper Thief". I discuss using some cliches to a story's advantage and why it's crucial to get rid of things like cell phones and helicopters in order to make chase scenes more dramatic. Feeling generous? Drop something in the Cashapp . Thanks for watching/listening.
