Every screenwriter needs to rewrite-more than once, probably many times-to make the story work and then to make a sale. And then again later on, to please producers, studios or stars.? Tom Lazarus--author of "Stigmata", among other scripts--is a working screenwriter and professor at UCLA extension.? In this book, he's distilled his own experience and that of other screenwriters into a system.? SECRETS OF FILM REWRITING will teach writers how to:
--prioritize big scenes
--track transitions
--plot corrections
--add new information
--pass through for dialogue
--do an "on the nose" rewrite?
Hugely valuable to first-time screenwriters and to grizzled veterans of Hollywood pitch wars alike, SECRETS OF SCREENPLAY REWRITING is larded with humor and attitude as well as information. Its anatomy of a screenplay rewrite breaks down the book's lessons into their practical application-a must for anyone looking for a break in the film business.
