"Global Scriptwriting looks at a new, exciting phase in film story - the internationalization of storytelling. Writers and directors from all over the world mix traditional forms with their own cultural values. The result is stories that have a global appeal, a recognizable universality.".
"Global Scriptwriting is a theory/practice book, in which ideas about screenwriting technique mix with ideas about the experience of film. It focuses first on the basics of scriptwriting, then applies the prism of different models to script - the Hollywood model, the independent model, the national model, and various alternative models. Finally, it culminates in a study of scriptwriting today and illustrates how particular innovations have helped national screen stories to international success.".
"This book is the first to incorporate the basics of the classical form with the innovative edge of the last decade, as well the culture-specific changes that have taken place outside of North America. It offers readers a view of the enriched repertoire available to writers resulting from the introduction of cultural perspectives into traditional story forms.
The work of such brilliant contemporary film-makers as Ang Lee, Neil Jordan, Juzo Itami, Spike Lee, and such icons as Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang, and John Ford, are but some of the many examples of international storytelling examined in this book."--BOOK JACKET.
