Review
"I wish I had had material like this for those hungry young minds who
moved beyond screenwriting fundamentals in my previous years at UCLA.
Sally has struck upon a very unique process of presenting both concepts and
the essence of specific genres then actually pointing them out in exemplary
films. She presents both the why and the how in a most insightful manner.
The whole book motivates the writer who truly wants to create more than
one script. There is not one course or book out there like this, including my
own Screenwriting 434. Not only new writers, but the entire film industry
needs this book."
--Lew Hunter, Chair-Emeritus and Professor at
UCLA's Film Department, Former NBC Program Director
"Sally Walker's textbook is a comprehensive, valuable resource that can benefit
writers of many different levels. There are useful tips, strategies, examples,
and recommendations throughout."
--Stephanie Palmer, Former MGM Executive,
CEO of Good in a Room (goodinaroom.com)
