The Way of the Screenwriter

"Such is the Way of the screenwriter; and here is a guide to accompany you along the path that all masterful screenwriters have discovered intuitively." "This is much more than a "how-to" manual; it illuminates the why behind the how, treating screenwriting as the convergence of storytelling, writing and filmmaking. In this demanding field, competence is not enough. Using principles inspired by the philosophy of Laozi (Lao Tzu), Amnon Buchbinder draws on his knowledge as a teacher and his experience as a director, screenwriter and script doctor to point a way towards mastery."--Jacket.
