What's "The Big Idea"?: Writing Short Films

A what-to, how-to guide about writing film specializing on shorts used by film schools, seminar leaders and USC film school as a text book.

Once you've read this book, you'll know the ins and outs of writing short screenplays.

DEVORAH CUTLER-RUBENSTEIN is a former studio exec who has produced films, plays, and television including the feature franchise The Substitute and most recently Tattoo U for FX Channel.
