Product description

Learn how to imagine and present your characters vividly, so that your audience will really develop feelings for them, in Screenwriter's Compass: Character as True North, a Focal Press book by Guy Gallo. Bringing over 20 years of experience as a working screenwriter and instructor, Mr. Gallo shows you how an effective screenplay emerges from well-developed characters and is rooted in motivation and voice. Rather than offering formulas purporting to produce a great story, the book provides the tools necessary for you to chart your own path to successful screenwriting that really resonates with your audience. It shares useful ways of thinking about writing, as well as practical ideas and concepts to help you discover the unique geography of your own imagination and navigate the obstacles and pitfalls of storytelling.
