Mumblecore in Webcomics
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, April 20, 2015
There is a slightly odd trend in screenwriting for indie films called Mumblecore where the actors are given a very minimal to non-existent script to work from and are forced into creating natural dialogue on the spot. I believe the director has a general story outline of where he or ...
