Making Movies by Sidney Lumet
Whatever I am, whatever the work will amount to, has to come out of my subconscious. I can’t approach it cerebrally. Obviously, this is right and correct for me. Each person must approach the problem in whatever way works best for him. (Location 214)Favorite / Discard / Tag or Share → |

A Guide to the Good Life by William B. Irvine
When a dog barks, we might make a mental note that the dog in question appears to dislike us, but we would be utter fools to allow ourselves to become upset by this fact, to go through the rest of the day thinking, “Oh, dear! That dog doesn’t like me!” (Location 1,737)Favorite / Discard / Tag or Share → |
Screenplay by Syd Field
The screenwriter’s job is to keep the reader turning pages. The first ten pages of your screenplay are absolutely the most crucial. Within the first ten pages, a reader will know whether your story is working or not, whether it’s been set up or not. You’ve got ten pages to grab the attention of your reader. What are you going to do with them? How are you going to hook the reader? (Location 1,709)Favorite / Discard / Tag or Share → |

The Screenwriter's Workbook by Syd Field
“Art, he proclaimed, is the process of actually sitting down and doing it. Not talking about doing it, not thinking or fantasizing about doing it, just doing it. Only after the work has been completed and exposed to public view will it be considered a work of “art” or not. If you think you're “an artist” just waiting for that one moment of inspiration to sit down and write, you'll be waiting forever.” (View Book on Amazon) |
