      I agree with Geevie that you should fill every page with great dialogue and intriguing events. I'm not sure about compelling characters on each page, but what the heck, it's worth a shot.

      What makes a screenplay compelling (to me) is mystery and conflict. Not so much dialogue. You have to be careful with mystery, but conflict is something you can't overdo.
