From AudioFile

If your passion is writing screenplays, Hauge offers one of the better workshops. Organized, insightful, and market driven, he wastes no time talking about art and wisely, beyond a certain point, doesn't encourage originality. The author understands that most screenplays that sell to Hollywood are akin to blueprints for tract housing. It's a mark of our culture that so many writers would rather churn out the great American screenplay than produce a novel.

This review is from: Screenwriting for Hollywood (Audio Cassette)

Excelent Audio-book, of one of his two day seminars. In it covers everything from writing a screenplay to sell it. Step by step, one by one, he takes you to every concept, developing it, in a soft pace. He says that the tape for day one is hard to follow, but I don't agree, it's so clear, that if you pay attention, you'll get it at once. It's very clear and it's also impressive the quantity of quality information he can give in this 3 hour audio. I find it perfect for novices and pros alike, because can be a refresh of concepts, or can give new ones. I like his objectivity, because after all the knowledge he transmits in this class, you can begin or finish your screenplay with a solid base, period. He also encourages to read books of others authors he mentions to deepen in the concepts he teaches, and to probably get new points of view. He also warns in not becoming a Seminar addict, or writing books addict, as an excuse to not writing your screenplay or book, you have to write everyday, beginning with 15 minutes at least, and never stop, rain or shine. He also says that one shouldn't use excuses for not writing or going at least once a week to a movie, like: money, your kids, your spouse, your work, etc... I highly recommend this Audio.
