It provides a number of useful scripts (even though some of them duplicate functionality of common system utilities), with explanations of how and why they work, and even notes on how you might alter the code to suit your own purposes.

It should be understood that this book is an excellent resource for understanding the format component of writing a screenplay. It does not address the art writing or the literary ...

An actor's best friend
If you are unable to take Mr. Waxberg's Script Analysis Class at Stella Adler in Hollywood, California, then the next best thing would be to buy this book (I was lucky enough to do both). This really did open my eyes, whether the scripts are from the stone age or up to present day. This book is an easy read and Mr. Waxberg's humor and insight really breaks everything down word for word. I ...
