A Brand New DVD:

Dancing With The Wadogie: Creating Scenes That Crackle With Life

by Hal Ackerman

Want, Do, Get = “Wadogee.” Hal Ackerman’s irreverent and easy-to-digest approach to scripting great scenes makes this DVD fun and informative for any writer. Illustrating his points with clips from recent hits Hustle & Flow and Fargo, Ackerman points out how creating intimacy with your characters makes them far more compelling than superficial concepts of “likeability.”    

Get answers to these and other questions:

       – What is the one purpose of every movie scene?

       – Intimacy vs. morality: can either side win?

       – How should the "writer's objective" function via the "character's objective?"

       – What is the purpose of a character's "circumstance?"

       – What is your main character's "Pole Star?"

       – What is the function of the "irrevocable act?"
