Written by Gotham Writers&#8217; Workshop expert instructors and edited by Dean of Faculty Alexander Steele, <i>Writing Movies</i> offers the same methods and exercises that have earned the school international acclaim. </div></div> 101708 19 9 2006 Writing Movies: The Practical Guide to Creating Stellar Screenplays total:11|5:3|4:5|3:3|2:0|1:0| 11 44 24 3 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 10 22:40:54 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 01:32:22 -0700 2009 Die Hard (the blockbuster), Thelma & Louise (the character dramedy), Tootsie (the comedy), Sideways (the indie) and The Shawshank Redemption (the wild card) -- to ...more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 27 00:06:25 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 27 00:08:13 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Tue Jul 29 14:46:25 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 07:40:17 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 23 01:40:55 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 01:40:59 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Sep 01 12:04:59 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 12:04:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 30 12:04:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 12:04:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 25 19:48:13 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 19:48:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 03 06:45:01 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 06:45:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 22:41:59 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 22:42:29 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Apr 18 13:06:59 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 13:07:04 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Apr 16 20:04:31 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 20:04:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 19 10:54:28 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 10:54:28 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Feb 07 14:10:06 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 14:10:06 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jan 19 09:50:17 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 09:50:17 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 18 19:30:11 -0800 2009 Sat Dec 27 12:57:02 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 18 19:30:11 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Nov 23 13:35:38 -0800 2008 Sun Aug 09 09:33:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 17 21:55:37 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 22:25:44 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Mon Nov 10 05:03:15 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 05:03:17 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Oct 08 13:41:48 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 08 13:41:48 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Aug 21 17:28:21 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 14 01:59:35 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=105512
