The Wall Will Tell You: The Forensics of Screenwriting, by Hampton Fancher (Melville House Publishing, 2019)

May 4, 2019 ~ Eamonn ~ Leave a comment

Epigrams on screenplay construction, by the co-writer of Blade Runner, among others. Useful little nuggets of wisdom. Not for the general reader (it’s like Bresson’s Notes on the Cinematographer, but for movie writing), though some good stuff here nevertheless.
