FREE SCREENWRITING MINI-WORKSHOP WITH SYD FIELD
"The most sought-after screenwriting teacher in the world," Hollywood
Reporter.
April 21, 1998  7pm

What makes a screenplay bomb? What makes it work? What makes it sell?
Professional and aspiring screenwriters alike will find the answers in
the ultimate troubleshooting handbook "The Screenwriter's Problem
Solver" (paperback, $12.95). In this, his fifth book, Syd Field expands
on the lessons of his earlier titles and explains how he learned to use
seemingly insurmountable script problems as a springboard to creativity.

"The Screenwriter's Problem Solver" is an intelligent, accessible
handbook to the insidious problems screenwriters encounter on a daily
basis. Using examples from well-known films such as "Pulp Fiction," "The
Shawshank Redemption," "Thelma & Louise" and "Dances with Wolves," Syd
Field helps writers recognize and solve screenplay problems ranging from
larger issues of plot, character, and motivation down to the finest
details. Special chapters address the best ways to:

 tighten up a screenplay scene by scene
 move a story with action - not dialogue
 maintain and build dramatic tension
 give producers the endings they need

More than just a guidebook, "The Screenwriter's Problem Solver" taps Syd
Field's hard-won wisdom and illustrates what makes great screenplay
exciting and successful.

Syd Field is a screenwriter, producer, teacher, and international
lecturer. he is the author of "The Screenwriter's Workbook," "Selling a
Screenplay," "Screenplay" and "Four Screenplays." Field has consulted on
scripts for Roland Joffe's production company as well as for Alfonso
Arau and Laura Esquivel on 'LIke water for Chocolate." he lives in
Berverly Hills, California.
