Overview

Popular formulas are the fastest way to ruin your screenplay. Break free from rules and start creating experiences using The Inside-Out Approach. The biggest impediment for a screenwriter is not talent, time or money but false assumptions about how to write-in other words, working the 'wrong' way. This groundbreaking book re-accesses fundamental assumptions about writing a screenplay by focusing on why films engage and move audiences. The Inside-Out Approach offers an in-depth examination of three facts all screenwriters need to come to terms with: Screenwriting is a process, not a set of rules. You are writing for the screen, not the page. No-one cares about a screenplay that doesn't move the audience. This book opens up your potential by replacing the dogma of rules with a writing process based on four distinct mindsets, each reflecting aspects of how a spectator actively participates in a film story. Because the approach is a framework for applying techniques, this book is also a companion to other screenwriting books, as it explains how diverse screenwriting ideas can be established within a rigorous process. Start your story as a screenwriter today.
