Presents a new way of approaching screenwriting, examining how effective screen storytelling must be grounded in the vivid imagining and presentation of character. This title shows you how to root your writing in motivation and voice, to create screenplays that seduce and make your reader lean forward, and, identify with your characters.
Focusing on character development over rigid plot structures, this guide encourages screenwriters to navigate their narratives intuitively rather than strictly adhering to outlines. Guy Gallo emphasizes that true storytelling emerges from character behavior, helping writers create authentic dialogue and humor rooted in their characters’ voices. By shifting the focus from plot-driven writing to character-driven narratives, screenwriters can craft more engaging and believable stories.
