Never was this more evident than during the best-picture showdown between 'The King's Speech' and 'The Social Network' during the 2011 Academy Awards, a scene then repeated, with 'Argo','Lincoln' and 'Zero Dark Thirty' in the 2013 awards. While Hollywood moguls have come to recognize the box-office revenue and critical acclaim that accompany such films and are now fast-tracking many docudramas into theaters, there remains a need for more reality-based film scripts. In this book, writer, director, and producer Alan Rosenthal presents a manual for screenwriters to develop their bio-pic or docudrama from concept to completion. This comprehensive guide begins with an overview of the genre before providing screenwriters with all the techniques and insights needed to navigate the often intimidating landscape of screenwriting for reality-based scripts. 650 0 $a Motion picture authorship. 650 0 $a Biographical drama $x Authorship. 650 0 $a Historical drama $x Authorship. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171223030239.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D6FC1CD8EAE411E387729F9EDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
