Very Helpful Guide for Entry Into Entertainment World as a Writer, June 14, 2007
This review is from: Screenplay Story Analysis (Paperback)
As a graduate student in the MFA UCLA Screenwriting Program, I'm all too familiar with the challenge Hollywood writers face before "making it" by entering the entertainment world as a knowledgeable up and comer. I've heard one too many industry executives and leaders talk about how entry-level professionals in entertainment too often "under perform" while in positions as interns, in the mail room, etc. And, that those who move up and get credibility necessary to advance their careers are those who show interest in learning more and come equipped with the tools to do so. As a writer who's trying to make it - I'm pursuing work as an intern and script reader, and found the tools, suggestions and explanations on how to better analyze stories in Asher's book one of the most helpful books I've found in my student career at UCLA.
