Foreword to the Sixth Edition
History of the 6th edition
Over the past year, I added a new feature on short films as a result of a
relationship with filmmaker Mariana Arevalo. I've written two short films
for her, the development of which is discussed at length here, with various
drafts presented and rewriting discussed. The completed films can be accessed
via the Internet.
Otherwise changes and additions include the usual discussion of new films
and relevant screenwriting material that was published over the past year.
I've made precious little progress on the CD-ROM version. Maybe this year.
In the meantime, let's make 2003 a productive writing year -- happy screenwriting!
