Notă biografică
Guy Gallo's first produced screenplay (Under the Volcano) was directed by John Huston and released in 1984. Since then he has written over a dozen feature screenplays, with four others produced. He has over 20 years of teaching experience at the Columbia University's School of the Arts, New York University, and Barnard College, his students including James Mangold (Girl Interrupted, 3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line), and Greg Mottola (Superbad, Adventureland).
Recenzii
"For those of you who are completely new to screenwriting, Gallo goes into all the stuff you’ll need to know, including all the basics like proper formatting, outlines, treatments, etc."
-Beyond Hollywood, www.beyondhollywood.com
"Once more, he harmonizes feedback with motivation. Personally, as an aspiring screenwriter, Gallo’s explanation of the revision process (usually the hardest part of doing a script) was the most telling. And, by the end, it’s his appreciation for all cinema and obvious experience—not verbose examinations into Greek philosophers—that separates his work from other how-to books."
- Film Monthly, www.filmmonthly.com
"While it goes over things from a screen play perspective, and all that is, is a really well done story for the screen…this can be used for writing novels, short stories and even stage plays, or the techniques can even work in a comic book script as well."
-Impulse Gamer, www.impulsegamer.com
"More than just the compass..this is the whole ship. Designed to safely navigate a screenwriter's journey to safe harbor, it's a virtual mega-yacht of a book: swift, secure, beautifully detailed...and above all, fun. Guy Gallo is one of the very few practitioners of the art who can show you how to chart your own course...and survive." --Tony Bill, producer The Sting (1973)
"I now have a screenwriting bible. As a working screenwriter, Gallo's words serve as a fantastic check-list for producing quality work. As a teacher of filmmaking, Gallo has provided my students and I with an incredibly useful and lucid set of tools. Gallo is a generous man for sharing his screenwriting genius." -- Emily Abt, writer, director, film professor, Princeton University
"Guy Gallo celebrates the adventure of writing a screenplay. He encourages writers to end up with 'a surprise that wasn't what you sat down to write.' It's simply the best book about writing for the screen I've read." -- Terry Jones, screenwriter, Monty Python and the Holy Grail; Life of Brian; Labyrinth
"...Gallo offers readers clear, concise tips on and examples of screenwriting techniques, liberally sprinkled with his personal experiences as a screenwriter. Accessible and engaging, Gallo's book makes an excellent resource and guide for both novices and professionals looking to add another tool to their screenwriting toolbox. Summing Up: Recommended." -- A. F. Winstead, Our Lady of the Lake University, CHOICE

Descriere
Many screenwriting books emphasize structure and plot to the detriment of character and, perhaps partly because of this, a frequent flaw of the modern screenplay is the over-reliance on plot as the GPS of the composition journey. In Screenwriter's Compass, Guy Gallo shows aspiring and professional screenwriters how to move away from the turn-by-turn directions of the outline and navigate more intuitively. Screenwriters will see that narrative grows out of behavior and will stop pushing and pummeling their characters to fit the outline. With Gallo's guidance, screenwriters will learn how to root their funniest prose and catchiest dialogue in character and voice to make their worlds real.
