Dialogue is King

Over the past few months, I have delved deep into the realm of dialogue in film, recognizing its paramount importance. In this blog post, I would like to share a collection of valuable resources, including articles, videos, and books, that have enriched my understanding of the subject.

If you have other useful links to suggest please let me know and I'll add them to this list, thank you!
