  • Analysis of five brilliant screenplays—Die Hard, Thelma & Louise, Tootsie, Sideways, and The Shawshank Redemption
  • Strategies for breaking into the business
  • A guide to screenwriting format
  • Assignments that strengthen your command of screenwriting craft
  • Step-by-step tasks that take you from rough idea to polished script

Written by Gotham Writers’ Workshop expert instructors and edited by Dean of Faculty Alexander Steele, Writing Movies offers the same methods and exercises that have earned the school international acclaim.
