I would definitely recommend this book for short script writers, all film-making professionals (don’t, whatever you do, rush into production without nailing an excellent script first!) and feature writers, too.

It really is a very thorough look at all aspects of being a writer of short scripts; detailed craft tips, motivational advice (ideas), how to think like a producer/director (economising and being aware of budget) and how to work your way up to being a professional writer of both short scripts and feature scripts (mastering original story-telling, eliciting emotion, writing pitch documents and how to approach a rewrite).
