The audience will almost always be less moved by a main story that helps resolve a subplot.
It tends to feel like an afterthought.
Look for the subplot to help resolve the main story in your screenwriting. It's far more satisfying and much more emotional bang for your buck.

In men, that begins to look like onanistic self-optimization as a means of taking control and a fear-based avoidance of the opposite sex that presents as resentfulness and misogyny. Women are demeaned as mercenary foids (short for “female humanoids,” in looksmaxxer parlance) — better insulted than engaged with. And women, for their part, are moving away from the corporeal entirely, celebrating yearning rather than in-person relationships, decentering men and solo-romanticizing their own lives. It’s a tendency that made “Wuthering Heights,” Emerald Fennell’s smutty fanfic interpretation of the classic romantic novel, a Valentine’s weekend blockbuster. It’s not a movie to watch with a date. As the review site Vulture put it, “Masturbation on the Moors for the Win.”
A #screenwriting challenge would be to somehow make these two archetypes fall in love…

I don't come on here as often as I should, but I just wanted to say:
I fucking love movies.
I make them, I write them, and I write about them. All three of these acts brings me so much joy.

An audience can only experience a movie one moment at a time.
I try to duplicate that in my screenwriting. One moment after another, in the order the audience experiences it.
It is one of many ways to get the reader to feel like they've seen the movie just from the read.

You’ve written a great script (or ten) and you finally land representation. Congrats! But now what? Do they just like get you work? Not exactly. So this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread is on what to do after you get an agent and/or manager. Spoiler: the same stuff you did beforehand.

Managed to find my way to “The End” on another screenplay.
By no means a polished article, but there’s a story in there worth dragging out.
Time to Kill My Darlings and tear this thing apart.
