520 1 $a"Most screenwriting books are for the blindly ambitious writer, skimming over the grim realities of "making it" in Hollywood and reducing the screenwriting process to no more than a formulaic hack job. Not Plots and Characters, a provocative road map to life - on and off the screen-from veteran screenwriter Millard Kaufman."--BOOK JACKET.
520 8 $a"Ultimately, Kaufman has created the quintessential "how-to" book which dives into the nuts and bolts of screenwriting with the jocular descriptions and scathing opinion only a seasoned veteran can pull off."--BOOK JACKET.
