Description
The 13 screenwriters gathered together in this book are world-class storytellers, whose skill at delineating plot and capturing character
make them internationally renowned and respected.
The contributors speak directly to the reader, allowing a rare insight into the creative
process of the screenwriter.
The interviews are illustrated with script excerpts, hand-written notes, storyboards, film stills, and
photographs from the screenwriters' own personal collections.
Film-making is all about telling stories. While the director is the person
responsible for pulling all the aspects of film-making together, the screenwriter creates the backbone of the film; suggesting location,
forming and sustaining plot and devising and building character.
The screenwriters in this book come from the US, Ireland, Poland, Italy,
Japan, France, Germany, and Canada.
