The soul of screenwriting : on writing, dramatic truth, and knowing yourself
Cunningham, Keith2008
Book
The Soul of Screenwriting demonstrates how the "screenwriting by numbers" approach that offers templates into which the writer may mechanically drop his or her story idea is fundamentally incomplete. Keith Cunningham maintains that in doing so, one ignores the process of writing. What the writer experiences in the act of writing hasn't been taken into account, yet this is where the screenplay comes from: the writer's here-and-now experience while working on the story. Cunningham demonstrates that good screenwriting is more than hitting the big "plot points". Good screenwriting has a voice that speaks to the audience.
