Screenwriter?s Compass:
Character as True North

Ever watch a movie, and despite great production value, fantastic action sequences, a great cast, etc, you come away thinking ? I just didn?t buy it. Chances are it was because you didn?t care about the characters.?Screenwriter?s Compass: Character as True North by Guy Gallo presents a new way of approaching screenwriting. Addressed to both the motivated beginner and seasoned professional, Screenwriter?s Compass examines how effective screen storytelling must be grounded in the vivid imagining and presentation of character. For more information on this book and to pre-order a copy, please visit: http://amzn.to/wbLu54

Guy Gallo brings well over?twenty years of experience?both as a working screenwriter and as an instructor with a list of big-name students including James Mangold (Girl Interrupted, Walk the Line), Greg Mottola (Superbad,?Adventureland), Jeannine Dominy (Dangerous Beauty), and Christopher Zalla (Sundance Grand Jury 2007 for?Sangre di mi sangre). Gallo is able to seamlessly navigate the reader through the task of screenwriting, dividing the book into distinct sections ? First Things, Groundwork, Getting Ready, First Draft, Revision, Finishing, and Getting Ready Again ? that map to the writer?s process.

Screenwriter?s Compass is not simply another How-To guide to screenwriting. It is a how-to-think book, an elegant presentation of fundamental concepts of dramatic construction. This fresh interpretation of screenwriting does not offer formulas to follow but instead gives you the tools needed to chart your own path to screenwriting success. It details useful ways of thinking about writing, as well as practical ideas and concepts to help the writer discover the unique geography of their own imagination and navigate the problems posed by the struggle to express vision, agenda, and story. In addition to using contemporary and classic films, Gallo mines both Aristotle and modern literary theory for ideas that can be turned to task in composition. This new book shows screenwriters not just how to create characters, but to root their screenplays in motivation and voice, to create stories that seduce and make the reader lean forward.
