✦ Synopsis

Learn the secrets to writing a GREAT screenplay from a major Hollywood movie studio Story Analyst who will show you how to BLOW AWAY THE READER! Master the structure and principles used by 95% of commercial movies by studying detailed breakdowns, or “Story Maps,” of several recent hit movies in all different genres, including The Dark Knight, The Wrestler, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Drag Me To Hell and the classics As Good As It Gets and Sunset Boulevard. The book cites examples from hundreds of hit films, several television series and includes samples from actual produced screenplays to show you HOW TO DO IT. The book provides detailed lessons on format, capturing voice and tone on the script page and developing great characters with powerful dialogue. The book also includes exclusive insights from major industry professionals with whom the author has interacted with at events in Los Angeles and New York City, including Robert Zemeckis, the screenwriters of Final Destination, Limitless, Armageddon, Antwone Fisher, Speed and Blade Runner, Louis C.K. and the President of Production of Columbia Pictures. You are learning from the pros by studying their work and reading their advice. This is NOT a formula or just another structure paradigm — it is the view from behind the desk of the people evaluating your screenplay, what they want to read and what they will buy. With all the competition in the Hollywood marketplace, your script can’t just be good, it must be GREAT.
