I have to remind myself too often to think visually, get that talky side of my brain to shut up and just let me see the story.

This film-school text is aimed at student and indie directors and their visual arts team, including art directors and cinematographers.

But I also recommend it particularly for screenwriters, even for novelists. Failure to conceptualize and tell a story with visual imagery is a big and common mistake. I'm not so impractical as to say that talking heads are never the right choice, especially if there's strong emotion going on and if it has little or nothing to do with the minimalist dialogue.

So "visualize and grow rich (creatively)" would be the message I take from this fine and helpful book.
