James Bonnet offers aspiring screenwriters the principles and tools they need to create powerful films packed with emotion. This revised and expanded second edition includes important new revelations concerning the ultimate source of unity, the structures of the whole story passage, the anti-heros journey, the high-concept great idea, the secrets of charismatic characters, and the analyses of many important new stories and successful films. You can use the creative process, the language of metaphor, and a sophisticated story model to bring powerful hidden truths to the surface. You can emulate the natural creative story-making process and put all your conscious and unconscious creative powers into your work. You can learn the nature and purpose of story, the compass that will orient you toward the real needs and desires of the audience.
