The development of a film screenplay is a complex and
collaborative process, beginning with an initial story and
continuing through drafting and financing to the start of the
shoot. And yet the best ways of understanding and managing this
process have never been properly studied. The Screenplay Business
is the first book to do exactly that, addressing such questions
as:
- How do film scripts get written, and what are the tensions
between creativity and business?
- How can the team of the writer, producer, director and
development executive work together most effectively?
The Screenplay Business presents a theoretical and practical
framework for understanding the business of independent script
development, and encompasses ideas about creativity, motivation,
managing creative people, value chains, and MBA leadership
theories.
This book will help producers and writers to nurture their
stories through the long development process to the screen. It
explains the international film business, and contains new research
and extensive interviews with leading industry figures, including
practical advice on how to run script meetings and handle notes;
how to build a sustainable business; and how to understand what
"really" happens when a script is written.
The Screenplay Business is a new key text for academics and
students researching film and media, and indispensable reading for
anyone working in film screenplay development today.
