One of the seminal and much respected texts in the field of screenwriting by one of the greats.

Screenplay has been revised and updated many times and it remains a number one bestseller on Amazon in 2016, years after it was first published. The book contains guidelines to make film-writing accessible to novices and to help practiced writers improve their scripts. Syd Field pinpoints elements essential to a screenplay and provides a step-by-step, comprehensive technique for writing a successful script.
