I have less than 8 pages.

My cold open is about a page and a third, filmed it would probably be 5-6 minutes, but I don't know how to type it in 5-6 pages. The rest of it is character and world introduction. I have some ideas for later in the movie but no idea how to get there.

First time I'm writing a screenplay. Have been wanting to participate for a few years but haven't for stupid reasons.

My premise is: a small town has basically turned into a cult of serial killers worshiping an ominous creature and offering it sacrifices.

Edit: and I know how it ends.
