How to Simplify Your Script

What does this video have to say about focusing your story?  What are some key points it as to say about why scripts are too complex?

    This video advises that your story should tackle one central concept which is communicated to your audience through your characters and themes. Some key points that Tyler Mowery talks about for why scripts become too complex is that a common misconception of good stories is that a good story should tackle a multitude of ideas in a complex way. Because so many people online equate difficulty to understand to quality, it creates a misconception for newer writers who are led to believe that, in order to create a good story, they must cover a ton of concepts at the same depth, which instead just leads to a confusing and unfocused story. Instead, newer writers should instead prioritize practice by focusing on one central idea and finishing their stories so that they could learn from the experiences.
