"The Screenwriting Formula is not just about how to write a killer screenplay - it also explains the structure that movie executives are looking for; as well as how to transform an idea into a fully-loaded script, packed with action and ready to go. Plus, to help illustrate the formula, Tobin develops a story from beginning to end, showing you step-by-step how to make the most of this exclusive trade secret."--Jacket. |
