We need good screenwriters who understand character.' Everywhere Andrew Horton traveled in researching this bookfrom Hollywood to Hungaryhe heard the same refrain. Yet most of the standard howto books on screenwriting follow the film industry's earlier lead in focusing almost exclusively on plot and formulaic structures.With this book, Horton, a film scholar and successful screenwriter, provides the definitive work on the characterbased screenplay. Exceptionally widerangingcovering American, international, mainstream, and 'offHollywood' films, as well as televisionthe book offers creative strategies and essential practical information.Horton begins by placing screenwriting in the context of the storytelling tradition, arguing through literary and cultural analysis that all great stories revolve around a strong central character. He then suggests specific techniques and concepts to help any writerwhether new or experiencedbuild more vivid characters and screenplays. Centering his discussion around four film examplesincluding Thelma & Louise and The Silence of the Lambsand the television series, Northern Exposure, he takes the reader stepbystep through the screenwriting process, starting with the development of multidimensional characters and continuing through to rewrite. Finally, he includes a wealth of information about contests, fellowships, and film festivals.Espousing a new, characterbased approach to screenwriting, this engaging, insightful work will prove an essential guide to all of those involved in the writing and development of film scripts.
