Guy Gallo is a poet who writes screenplays. In his original work, characters ache to speak, to leap across an invisible chasm: light and air become time, history, language . . . His screenplays which have been produced include adaptations of Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano, directed by John Huston, and Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn for PBS.
Culled from his 20 years of experience, Screenwriter’s Compass is Guy Gallo’s must-have manual on the craft of screenwriting. He expertly teaches his reader how to think about the screenwriting process, discover the unique geography of his or her own imagination and navigate the inevitable challenges to articulate vision, agenda and story.
