 Writing the Great American Screenplay
By
Richard Walter & William Froug Writers once dreamed of writing the great American novel. Now screenplays top the dream list. Presented on four CDs, two accomplished screenwriting teachers explain the art of writing salable movie and television scripts. Screenwriting: How to Move Your Tale In his fast paced and entertaining seminar, Richard Walter praises commercial film and television for catering to its audience. Popularity, he says, comes directly from the story. Everything is important, but none of it means anything outside the context of your story. His expert advice on structure — lie through your teeth, integrate and think through your beginning, middle, and end — will help your screenplay take a huge leap in the direction of success. As head of UCLA’s Film & TV School, Richard Walter has helped mold the careers of writers responsible for “Stand and Deliver,” “Robocop,” “River’s Edge,” “Repo Man,” and episodes of “L.A. Law,” “Thirtysomething,” and “Miami Vice.” He writes for film and TV and is a longtime member of the Writers Guild of America. He has helped hundreds of writers become successful professionals. Screenwriting Tricks of the Trade: The Workshop In part two of this audio course, Emmy® winner William Froug presents practical, write-from-the-gut advice that resounds with integrity and experience. Lessons include how to write functional and lean dialogue, and how to achieve intimate character portrayals, dramatic tension and foreshadowing. He also teaches how to set aside gimmicky formulas and get your best script down on paper. William Froug founded UCLA’s acclaimed film and television program, and is the author of The Screenwriter Looks at the Screenwriter. He has won numerous awards from both the Producer’s Guild and Writers Guild of America, and has written hundreds of produced scripts. |
