R.I.P. Syd Field

There it is then, the first book i ever bought and read on screenwriting. It was written by Syd Field, who has passed away aged 77.

If you told me back then that i’d someday be teaching university classes using some of Field’s theories i’d never have believed you. But then i’d never have believed it possible that i’d be a produced screenwriter either, if not for the inspiration i gained from Syd Field and his book.

Everything’s gone green: using a mood board

I think visually, so when it comes to writing a new novel amood boardis an essential I can’t do without.
