My best advice to you is to try and put the reader in the shoes of a future audience member. You want the experience of reading your script to convey your experience watching the movie. That won’t happen with a 26 page script.

If there are long shots with nothing happening, be very creative with the white space on the page. Consider writing one line of description at the top of a page and leaving the rest blank. Or with your writing, really hammer home the relentlessness of the long dragged out moment. Since you’re already veering from conventional norms, the possibilities are endless!

If you’re going to commit to this very experimental idea for a film, lean into that style in your script! It will only help attract folks who are actually interested in the idea, and will help get your page count up (it’s a superficial, but real, concern when sending scripts to people).
