Sharon A. Fox - 10 Minute Recipe For A Perfect Screenplay

Top 7 books I recommend to write the perfect screenplay.I have been mentoring film makers for years (some whom have gone on to receive Academy and Emmy Award nominations...and also have worked with Academy Award winning writers to help them re-structure their screenplays) and this video shares my list of what I feel is the short list of some of the most important books you need to guide you on your journey to write great screenplays.First lesson: There's No such thing as a perfect screenplay...Second Lesson: Nobody in Hollywood knows anything...In the words of one of the great screenplay writers, William Golden, "Nobody knows anything." He meant, nobody in Hollywood knows anything. And he's right.So my recipe is going to be different than someone else's ...I am not an expert...because there is no such thing...and there is no such thing as a perfect screenplay...but you can come close if you know some ancient secrets. There is a big difference between perfection and excellence.This recipe is the same list I give out to film makers I mentor.People say its who you know that is going to make you a success... I say if you write a great screenplay that could be the cornerstone for a great film...the people you need to know will find you.Creating a great screenplay from an idea you have in your head is like taking a lump of coal and refining it into a diamond.That diamond has many facets and those facets represent not only the steps in your journey to find the treasure at the end of your screenplay...but the steps you take to transform an untruth you are holding about yourself and the world.A great screenplay is just the map you pass onto others about a successful personal internal adventure you wish to share with the world.Storytelling is your birthright. Storytelling began around the camp fire thousands of years ago...it is time to bring storytelling back to your neighborhood...where ever that neighborhood is in the world.Writing a great screenplay is not just about "writing" a great story...it's about "living" a great story.We all need to share our stories if we are going to create the compassion, empathy and understanding which is necessary to create a peaceful planet.Tell your truth and you set the world free.Write On! Wishing You A Great Journey!Peace and Blessings,Sharon A. Fox........................... ......................

Hi Sharon, I have 20 appts. at the screenwriteers expo. Companies like Dreamworks, WB, Simon West, Walden, Village Roadshow and many others. Do you have any suggestions on how to present your script well in 5 minutes? Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. I want to make the most of this opprotunity. Thanks again, your the best. Rick

Sharon, I don't know if you remember me, but I have chatted with you a few times via this site. Your advice has been invaluable. My script is entered in the filmmakers 8th annual screenwriters awards and has made it to the quarterfinals. Over 1300 entries and I am one of 31 still left in the main catagory. I am also entered in the screenwriters expo contest as well and plan to go next month. Is there any chance you will be going to the expo as well? I would love to meet you. You are the best.

What a sweet comment.And yes I hope we see some more films from director, Ben Affleck.And no I am not married. I've never been married but I have been engaged to someone whose face is quite familiar to many people throughout our country and some parts of the world.And who knows maybe Affleck will direct one of your scripts someday.Good luck with your writing.

You are just darling. Sharon, I just adore your eyes. It was nice to watch this and I agree, "Gone Baby Gone" was not only a great story, but for Ben's first movie as a Director, he scored big. I hope to see him in the Director's chair more often as I feel that is where he belongs. - I'm currently working on a number of scripts and love every minute of it. I noticed, you aren't wearing a wedding ring; I'd feed you strawberries.
