I never knew how hard and complicated screenwriting was until recently. I'm a film student at the International Academy of Film and Television (http://www.filmschool.ph/) in the Phillipines and we were tasked to read Robert Mckee’s book: Substance, Structure, Style and The Principles of Screenwriting book (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/617845/book_talk_robert_mckees_story_substance.html). I’m not even half way through the book but its obvious what he wants to convey.
<img src=http://sonewmex.com/images/screenwriting2.jpg border=1 align=right alt="IAFT Students are trained using the lastest techniques and equipment">The essence of a good story is unchanging and universal. These well crafted stories, the ones with multiple layers that follow proven classical guidelines for story telling are products of an old craft that has been developed step by step for ages. Definitely not a walk in the park! I highly recommend the book and a if you're interested in screenwriting or filmmaking, a visit to the International Academy of Film and Television (http://www.filmschool.ph/) web site won't hurt either. It's a fine school that specializes in teaching students the craft of screenwriting.
