Helping you get started with short film writing, this updated edition of Writing Short Scripts provides a comprehensive guide to creating engaging scripts for films under thirty minutes.

With a focus on practical advice and examples, this book covers everything from gathering and organizing materials to writing, reframing, and formatting your script. It also includes a revised glossary, bibliography, and list of distributors for short films and videotapes, as well as useful citations and web site addresses for the short script writer.
