Telling It

by Anne Frank (Editor)

Telling It cuts straight to the heart of any filmmaking the storyline.  For all the attention lavished on directors, actors and producers, it is the writer whose work is the most vital.  Without a script, there can be no film.

This collection of essays on writing for film and television in Canada features the shared wisdom of the industries' most talented writers, as well as insights from producers, directors, and other professionals in film development.
