Synopsis
From the critically-acclaimed independent filmmaker, Michael Roemer, comes Film Stories: Screenplays as Story, his first and highly-anticipated collection of screenplays from nine of his most celebrated motion pictures. More than film scripts, these two volumes are designed to help film students master concepts like three-act structure, conflict, surprise, rising action, and crisis. They also show the budding screenwriter how not only to tell a story, but how to tell a story that sells.
Volume One contains the screenplays for Nothing But a Man, The Plot Against Harry, Stone My Heart, and Pilgrim, Farewell. Volume One also features a comprehensive introduction entitled "Beginnings", in which Mr. Roemer discusses the stories behind his screenplays and supplies anecdotes on the making and distribution of his films that any screenwriter or filmmaker will find invaluable.
