Synopsis

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 instructor at UCLA extension. In this book, he's distilled his own experience and that of other screen writers into a system. "Rewriting Secrets for Screenwriters" will teach writers how to: prioritize big scenes; track transitions; plot corrections; add new information; pass through for dialogue; and do an "on the nose" rewrite. Hugely valuable to first-time screenwriters and to veterans of Hollywood pitch wars alike, "Rewriting Secrets for Screenwriters" is laced with humour 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.
