Recenzii
'"Mick is an expert of the first order. I can attest to that personally — as can the many other writers he has mentored over the years. Whether I’m writing a feature or a TV series, I discuss every project with Mick to get his insights. And now he’s created this excellent style manual that fully reveals how screenplays are written today. Mastering Screenplay Form and Style explains not just the how-to, but the when-to and why-to. From the novice to the professional, screenwriters of all levels will undoubtedly benefit from having this book on their desk.''
William H. Collage, Screenwriter (Emancipation, Assassin’s Creed, Allegiant)
''Finally, a screenwriter’s style manual that reflects how professionals write. Mick Hurbis-Cherrier understands the careful balance a screenplay must strike between practical function and creative expression. If you have the story, this book will take you the rest of the way.''
Gabrielle Mahon, Producer (Succession, Ben is Back)
"Hurbis-Cherrier’s approach to craft embraces the form’s full capacity for expressing style, tone, imagery, and emotion. This is an essential guide for serious writers and is the first textbook I’ve ever assigned in my screenwriting classes."
Dave Monahan (Professor of Film University of North Carolina Wilmington, Author of Looking at Movies)
