Great piece! The action has to take place in the first few paragraphs or the first minutes of a movie, and in the first few seconds in a short. Better make that the first second! There is no time for building a story or developing a character. Only when the audience is hooked, can the storytelling begin. So, it had to be "written backward". 'Momento' is a perfect example. The technique works best for crime stories. Keep it going, Dr. P!
