Inhaltsangabe

In a field where novelty often equals commercial success, scriptwriters often strive to create screenplays that are innovative and exceptional.

Examples and case studies demonstrate what works, what doesn't and why, and exercises encourage writers to explore new ways of viewing their work and test the limits of their skills.
