Blake will be missed but his work lives on!

"Save the Cat" offers a whole new way of looking at story structure rather than the same old fuddy duddy standard we've used over the years. It's a fun read and behind every word is an excitement and enthusiasm that comes straight from the author himself. Unfortunately, Blake passed away...

Save Your Money! The Last Screenwriting Con You'll Ever Fall For

After flipping through this book in a store, I thought "Now way." Then it was referenced in a book that I did find helpful, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Big mistake. Primarily, this book is helpful in constructing loglines--one sentence synopses meant to help sell a spec script, i.e. a very...
