Stephen Geller, successful screenwriter of Slaughterhouse-Five and author of Pretty Poison, goes beyond a superficial discussion of camera techniques and film script format to get to the real craft of creating a screenplay — the writing itself. He helps you transform your ideas into words, your words into pictures, and your pictures into a successful, bankable film script.
Geller addresses the problems that all dramatic writers face: how to motivate yourself to work, how to give your characters a chance to develop and your story a chance to come alive, how, in short, to get your idea out of your head and into the movie theater.
Chapters provide detailed information on creating strong, clearly defined characters, sustaining narrative tension and texture, adapting an existing text for film, and getting your screenplay produced.
