Power Screenwriting: The 12 Stages of Story Development

This book offers a clear and straightforward framework upon which to build story plots. Replete with hundreds of film references and a step-by step breakdown of some of the greatest movies ever written, this is an inspiring and must-own manual for any serious modern day storyteller. Standing on the broad shoulders of Joseph Campbell, Christopher Vogler, and others who have demonstrated how mythology is used, Walker brings passion, insight and clarity to a whole new range of story traditions never before examined. The book is helpful as both a reference source and as a springboard for the aspiring screenwriter. Whereas most screenwriting books focus on the over used three-act structure, the author offers a wide variety of alternative principles, and techniques that are much more flexible, adaptable and relevant for the modern storyteller.
