If you're at the beginning of your career, or you're about to start writing your first screenplay, this is a great book to get you going!

What's even more enticing is that you can read and understand it in a couple of hours, or less -- about the time it takes you to sit through your top choice at the local multiplex.

You're about to go on a creative journey, and this book is a basic road map.

You'll learn how to get original ideas -- not just copies of someone else's notions.

You'll learn how to get your good ideas out of your head and into your computer.

You'll find out how to source powerful psychological and emotional ideas for your characters and themes.

You'll discover the most efficient, professional ways to build your story, and your script.

I show you how to energize your ideas, how to tell which ideas are good movie ideas, and where to look for elements that make winning movie scripts.

I expose the secret of the powerful principle of mendacity in movie characters and plot, and I show you examples of how to use it in your own screen-play.

Of course, there are skills you need to learn and use -- formatting, scene structure, dialogue, and writing good narrative prose, for example. But you'll never have the chance to learn them if you don't GET STARTED ON YOUR SCREENPLAY NOW.
