  • The best book for the want to be film maker~

    Collin T. - 7 years ago

    John Truby's Anatomy of Story is a brilliant book to read if you're just getting into writing for film or television. He goes deep into detail about the many different types of stories and how to keep the reader or viewer on the edge of their seat the entire time. If you're looking for a book to teach you and give you new ideas and inspiration, there is no book I recommend more than this.
