Featured Friday: Bottle Episodes
Weekend Read, our app for reading scripts on your phone, features a new curated collection of screenplays each week.
This week, we focus on those episodes of a TV show that keep their characters contained to one set, better known as bottle episodes. Beloved by audiences for the great character studies they often are, and beloved by producers because it keeps the episode as cheap as possible, bottle episodes can have so many benefits that you’ll never want to film an exterior again.
Our collection includes:
- Breaking Bad - “Fly”
- Community - “Remedial Chaos Theory”
- Seinfeld - “The Chinese Restaurant”
Read these and other featured collections only on Weekend Read 2, available on all Mac and iOS devices. Download for free!
