Rezensionen

'The Screenplay Business book is long overdue and of excellent relevance and value to both practitioners and academics working in the creative industries. Bloore successfully blends rigorous research with a sensitive analysis of the more vulnerable aspects of the creative process.' - Angus Finney, film business consultant and author of The International Film Business (2010)



'a great synthesis of ideas about development and a very useful contribution to all of us working in the field.' - Julian Friedmann, Film, TV and Literary Agent

'The market is saturated with books on the craft of screenwriting, but few look at the mechanics of development. The Screenplay Business fills the gap with fresh insights underpinned by the latest research findings from psychology, social science and business management. I'm certain that many existing writers, producers and development executives will benefit from the author's synthesis of these diverse bodies of research... An engaging, valuable and timely contribution to our understanding of feature film development.' - Jim Barratt, Film Business Consultant
