Ah, the early pages of your script. So fun, so exciting, but also so fraught with potential peril. After all, we've all heard the dreaded "well, I got to page X and then you lost me" from an exec at some point. The truth is, when everyone has so much to read, keeping a reader engaged and excited about your script at page 10, 30, 100 is no easy feat.
