It’s like taking a Master Class in screenwriting … all in one book!

Discover the pitfalls of writing to fit a budget from screenwriters who have successfully navigated these waters already. Learn from their mistakes and improve your script with their expert advice.

The book covers (among other topics):

  • Academy-Award Winner Dan Futterman (“Capote”) on writing real stories
  • Tom DiCillio (“Living In Oblivion”) on turning a short into a feature
  • Kasi Lemmons (“Eve’s Bayou”) on writing for a different time period
  • George Romero (“Martin”) on writing horror on a budget
  • Rebecca Miller (“Personal Velocity”) on adapting short stories
  • Stuart Gordon (“Re-Animator”) on adaptations
  • Academy-Award Nominee Whit Stillman (“Metropolitan”) on cheap ways to make it look expensive
  • Miranda July (“Me and You and Everyone We Know”) on making your writing spontaneous
  • Alex Cox (“Repo Man”) on scaling the script to meet a budget
  • Joan Micklin Silver (“Hester Street”) on writing history on a budget
  • Bob Clark (“Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things”) on mixing humor and horror
