The thirteen featured writers-Albert Brooks, Jean-Claude Carrière, Nora Ephron, Ronald Harwood, John Hughes, David Koepp, Richard LaGravenese, Barry Levinson, Eric Roth, John Sayles, Tom Stoppard, Barbara Turner, and Rudy Wurlitzer-are not confined to the 1990's, but their engrossing, detailed, and richly personal stories create, in McGilligan's words, "a snapshot of a profession in motion." Emphasizing the craft of writing and the process of collaboration, this new volume looks at how Hollywood is changing to meet new economic and creative challenges. Backstory 5 explores how these writers come up with their ideas, how they go about adapting a stage play or work of fiction, how they organize and structure their work, and much more.ScreenwritersCaliforniaLos AngelesInterviewsMotion picture authorshipCaliforniaLos AngelesInterviewsElectronic books.ScreenwritersMotion picture authorship812/.5409McGilligan Patrick554684MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464897103321Backstory 52492973UNINA
