Produktbeschreibung
Daniel John Carey is the founder of Screenwriting Tribe script incubation workshop in Los Angeles, where he has facilitated several hundred workshops. "Screenwriting Tribe Workshop Handbook" is for both beginning and working writers. It provides a vast quantity of information to help writers polish their screenplays to the professional level. It also shares information about the workings of the industry, the history of film and TV, and career advice for writers. So that the book helpfully shares a variety of opinions, including some that conflict, the text is intermixed with quotations from many successful writers, directors, producers, managers, and others from throughout the history of film and TV. While working for MGM/UA, Carey saw how easily screenplays are dismissed because of formatting errors, badly written description, rambling dialogue, and other common script problems. One day, United Artists president John Calley showed Carey a badly formatted script, and asked, "Why should I spend time reading a script if the writer hasn't spent the time to polish it?" Point taken. To help writers polish their scripts to be what is expected by managers, agents, studio readers, producers, directors, DPs, actors, screenplay contests, writing labs, and mentorship and fellowship programs, Carey started the weekly workshop that he named Screenwriting Tribe. The membership quickly grew to include several hundred writers. Over the years, Carey compiled information helpful for those writing screenplays. At first, he was writing a booklet for the workshop, but it turned into the nearly 300-page first edition of "Screenwriting Tribe Workshop Handbook" with cover dimensions of 6x7. The first edition was picked up as a text by college and university film schools. This second edition is 582 pages with cover dimensions of 7x10. In addition to the Screenwriting Tribe workshop, Carey helps directors and producers polish scripts to get them ready for sale and/or production, coaches writers in associated with a production company, and works one-on-one with some writers. Since the pandemic, the Screenwriting Tribe workshop has been held on Zoom, allowing people outside of Los Angeles to participate by joining the MeetUp page. "Screenwriting Tribe Workshop Handbook" is meant to go along with David Trottier's books "The Screenwriter's Bible" and "Dr. Format Tells All." Participants in the workshop are to own all three books.
