{"product_id":"9780810839106","title":"Film Stories: Screenplays as Story","description":" From the critically-acclaimed independent filmmaker, Michael Roemer, comes \"Film Stories: Screenplays as Story\", his first and highly-anticipated collection of screenplays from nine of his most celebrated motion pictures. More than film scripts, these two volumes are designed to help film students master concepts like three-act structure, conflict, surprise, rising action, and crisis. They also show the budding screenwriter how not only to tell a story, but how to tell a story that sells. Volume One contains the screenplays for \"Nothing But a Man, The Plot Against Harry, Stone My Heart\", and \"Pilgrim, Farewell\". Volume One also features a comprehensive introduction entitled \"Beginnings,\" in which Mr. Roemer discusses the stories behind his screenplays and supplies anecdotes on the making and distribution of his films that any screenwriter or filmmaker will find invaluable. Volume Two contains the screenplays for \"Losing Emily, Famous Long Ago, Mortal Longings, Act of God\", and \"Sad but Funny\".\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography: Michael Roemer is Professor of Film at Yale University, where he has taught courses in filmmaking and screenwriting for more than 30 years. He is also the independent filmmaker of such movies as \"The Plot Against Harry\", \"Nothing But a Man\", \"Pilgrim Farewell\", and the widely-celebrated documentary, \"Dying\".  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishing Group Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030613573872,"sku":"9780810839106","price":40.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780810839106_p0.jpg?v=1769907447","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780810839106","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
