Good approach, great story breakdown
Mr. Snyder is a wonderful writer and what he writes makes sense. I would recommend this book to any aspiring screenwriter. However, I disagree with the idea that one should write what's popular and only write for young crowds. One should aspire to...

This are the Rules.
The Rules of Movie Making. Well, screenwriting, anyway. Blake Snyder knows what he is doing, he has work out there. Yet...none of the work he has out there is interesting to me. He writes family films, mainstream films, to make money. He does...
