This is" "the only screenwriting guide by two guys who have
actually done it (instead of some schmuck who just gives lectures
about screenwriting at the airport Marriott); "These guys are proof
that with no training and little education, ANYONE can make it as a
screenwriter" (Paul Rudd).
Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon's movies have made over a
billion dollars at the box office--and now they show you how to do
it yourself This book is full of secret insider information about
how to conquer the Hollywood studio system: how to write, pitch,
structure, and get drunk with the best of them. Well...maybe not
the best of them, but certainly the most successful. (If you're
aiming to win an Oscar, this is not the book for you ) But if you
can type a little, and can read and speak English--then you too can
start turning your words into stacks of money
This is the only screenwriting book you will ever need (because all
other ones pretty much suck). In these pages, Garant and Lennon
provide the kind of priceless tips you won't find anywhere else,
including:
- The art of pitching
- Getting your foot in the door
- Taking notes from movie stars
- How to get fired and rehired
- How to get credit and royalties
And most important: what to buy with the huge piles of money you're
going to make
"Writing Movies for Fun and Profit" will take you through the highs
and lows of life as a professional screenwriter. From the highs of
hugging Gisele Bundchen and getting kung fu punched by Jackie Chan
to the soul-crushing lows of "Herbie: Fully Loaded."
Read this book and you'll have everything you need to make your
first billion the old-fashioned way--by "selling out" in show
business
A portion of the authors' proceeds from this book are being
contributed to the USO of Metropolitan Washington, a private,
nonprofit organization dedicated to serving active duty military
members and their families in the greater Washington, DC, region.
"The Psychology of Screenwriting "is more than an interesting book
on the theory and practice of screenwriting. It is also a
philosophical analysis of predetermination and freewill in the
context of writing and human life in our mediated world of
technology. Drawing on humanism, existentialism, Buddhism,
postmodernism and transhumanism, and diverse thinkers from Meister
Eckhart to Friedrich Nietzsche, Theodor Adorno, Jacques Derrida,
Jean Baudrillard and Gilles Deleuze, "The Psychology of
Screenwriting" will be of use to screenwriters, film students,
philosophers and all those interested in contemporary theory. This
book combines in-depth critical and cultural analysis with an
elaboration on practice in an innovative fashion. It explores how
people, such as those in the Dogme 95 movement, have tried to
overcome traditional screenwriting, looking in detail at the
psychology of writing and the practicalities of how to write well
for the screen. This is the first book to include high-theory with
screenwriting practice whilst incorporating the Enneagram for
character development. Numerous filmmakers and writers, including
David Lynch, Jim Jarmusch, David Cronenberg, Pedro Almodovar,
Darren Aronofsky, Sally Potter and Charlie Kaufman are explored.
"The Psychology of Screenwriting "is invaluable for those who want
to delve deeper into writingfor the screen.
