How to Write a Screenplay

From the opening page to the "Fade to Black", this book is just what the aspiring screenwriter needs.

In which we learn that every character needs to be seen as a full person, or we risk writing empty, hollow, people-shaped shells.

In which we learn the importance of finding moments, and justifying them with the moments that come before and after.

In which we discuss the typical three-act structure, which allows for a typical audience to feel satisfied.

In which we discuss the inciting incident, which is the hero's call to action, and tends to happen around the ten minute mark.

In which we learn that ideas are everywhere, if we're open to finding them.
