WTF is a setup and a payoff—and why do they matter so much in screenwriting? In under 2 minutes, we’re breaking down how planting the right information early gives your story emotional, thematic, and structural impact later. Setups and payoffs aren’t just clever—they’re necessary.

🟢 Build trust with your audience through structure
🟢 Make your script feel intentional, not accidental
