About Me

My name is Daniel Lee, born and raised in Chicago. After getting introduced to screenwriting in film school, I immediately fell in love with the challenge of creating a good story. In an effort to improve at the craft, I decided to really start studying the screenwriting in the greatest films ever, by breaking down every detail in every scene.

As I went through this process, I noticed that my own writing improved immensely. After constantly seeing what the professionals are doing, it became easier to see that there is a baseline of excellence that your screenplay must always achieve. Things like setups and payoffs, complex characters with strong goals, and burying exposition in conflict.

So I got excited and wanted to share this amazing information with fellow screenwriters, filmmakers, and movie lovers.

And so the Script Sleuth channel was born.
