When friends discover incompatible storytelling philosophies while collaborating

My best friend and I decided to write a screenplay together because we have the same sense of humor, but it turns out we have completely different ideas about what makes a story worth telling. Every scene becomes a negotiation between entertainment and meaning, and we're both compromising our instincts.

More people experience this than they realize.
