In an age where many see screenwriters as the storytellers of the past 100 years and everyone appears to be trying to a write a screenplay this book provides the framework for you to write a great screenplay. It goes beyond the concerns of act structure and the merits of story-driven - as opposed to character-driven - screenplays to tackle the real complexities of writing a compelling screenplay.
