 GREAT SCREENWRITING WORKSHOP!!! |
| Review Date: November 21, 2005 |
| Reviewer: G. Eng, Pittsburgh |
| This is an excellent workshop that is worth the money. If you take the time to review and do the lessons, you will get better at screenwriting. I disagree with the one reviewer who got nothing out of the DVD. There are exercises that may seem simple at first but in fact offer subtle yet significant learning experiences. And I'm sure if Syd really wanted to write a story that he believed in, he would. He loves teaching obviously. |
Excellent for Beginners!

| For those starting out in screenwriting, this is a must-have. My son got a lot of use from it and learned a lot, too. Highly recommended. |

| Reviewer: Christopher Carneal, los angeles |
| If you are new to screenwriting or want an overview of what is expected by those who will read your script, this DVD is unsurpassed and complete with useful graphics and top-notch advice. I completely disagree with the 1 star review elsewhere on this page. |

| Reviewer: F. Vickery, |
| Excellent addition to the book. Adds a step-by-step process to the mechanics discussed in Field's handbook. In additions answers the question, "What the heck does Syd Field look like?" Professionally produced, well worth the money. |
Syd Field is the Best!

| I have read his books and taken his video course. They are excellent materials to study by. I would highly recommend any of his materials. Obviously the person who rated Syd Field so poorly has no idea what he is talking about - if he were such an expert on the subject he wouldn't be writing bad reviews on Amazon regarding one of the leaders in the screenwriting industry. Buy it, it's worth every penny. |
