Script Partners

Résumé du livre

Some of the greatest movies and television series have been written by script partners. From Billy Wilder's legendary collaborations with Charles Brackett and I.A.L. Diamond to the work of the Coen Brothers, writing teams and their secrets of success are as intriguing as the scripts they create. Script Partners, Second Edition brings together the experience, knowledge, and winning techniques of Hollywood's most productive partnerships-including Lucy Alibar & Benh Zeitlin (Beasts of the Southern Wild), Chad & Carey Hayes (The Conjuring), Patrick Massett & John Zinman (Friday Night Lights TV series; Gold), Andrew Reich & Ted Cohen (Friends), Cinco Paul & Ken Daurio (Despicable Me), and Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski (Ed Wood; The People vs. Larry Flynt). Aspiring and established scriptwriters will learn how to pick the right partner and projects, co-create character and story, co-draft and rewrite a script, manage the creative and business relationship, and successfully collaborate in the film/TV industry. This new edition has been expanded and updated to include additional interviews with cutting-edge writing teams, excerpts from award-winning scripts, a new chapter about co-writing the rewrite, and a must-read new chapter for film and scriptwriting students-"A Film School Survival Kit or How Collaboration Helps You Get In, Get Along and Get Ahead".
