Description
This intensive look at what makes an Academy Award-winning screenplay is an insightful study of the details and nuances of three scripts by one of Hollywood's most respected screenwriting gurus. Dr. Seger's keen eye and vast experience shed light on the challenges that these screenwriters had to overcome on the road to becoming an Oscar winner. Includes fascinating script analysis of each film and never-before-published interviews with the writers/directors who've won the big award.
"Linda Seger has taken three Oscar-winning screenplays, cleverly pulled their ideas apart, and laid them down in a highly readable book. A wonderful read for anybody trying to write a screenplay—first-timers, and perhaps some of those top professionals as well."
–Marc Norman, Academy Award-winning screenwriter, Shakespeare in Love
"Haggis and Moresco couldn't have said it any better and they have the Academy Award. Your dissection of every plot line blending into the other is so on the money. I even picked up some nuances from you, and I've seen the film 412 times. Thanks. Every upcoming screenwriter should read this. Come to think of it, almost every screenwriter should read this."
–Marc Harris, Producer, Crash (Academy Aware Best Picture)
"Here are three good reasons to buy Linda's book: to read it, to learn from it, and to get better at what you do."
–Jeff Arch, Academy Aware nominee, Sleepless in Seattle
Dr. Linda Seger created and defined the job of script consultant when she began her business in 1981. Since then she has consulted on over 2,000 scripts. She's the author of eight screenwriting books, including Making a Good Script Great. |
