Book Reviews of How to Write a Movie in 21 Days: The Inner Movie Method
Book Review: 21 Days and a finished script... Well...
Summary: 3 Stars
Years ago when I first became interested in screenwriting I walked in a small bookstore in town and picked up this book. This happen to have been quite some time ago, like I said. Since then I have written several spec scripts and for them to be worth anything, I needed to have taken serious time developing the arc for the story and the protagonist. This time surpassed 21 days, I wrote the first draft, rewrote several drafts then ended in a final draft. This all took several months.
It might be possible to get your "Vomit Draft" out in 21 days but a "Final Draft" is quite unrealistic. Everyone has their own way of developing and writing their stories. Some have outlines, some jump right into the software package Final Draft and write the script. Everyone is different, either way it's a process that takes longer than 21 days.
At best, in my opinion, this book a fun look at screenwriting for a beginner or that novice who wants a guide for that first attempt at writing a script.
It's not a bad buy, but I could find other books that I would place in front of this one.
