I have seen this used for telephone conversations, but my current situation is slightly different. Two pairs of characters are speaking in different locations, and their lines merge into one another. Character A at Location A will start a sentence, and its counterpart at Location B will finish it. I've seen this done many times, but I'm not sure what the appropriate way to head the scenes is. It gets rather confusing without the separate scene headers, but I'm not sure what to do.
Any help is appreciated.
Dear Mark, Most companies will not read unsolicited scripts unless they have read a pitch or synopsis. This is due to the incredible amount of material that is out there. You should be able to write a creative, captivating one page synopsis, that will spark interest in reading your completed screenplay. We read many screenplays this way. An agent should be on the phone getting your screenplay to producers that they feel would be most attracted by your material.
