Description

Writing the Science Fiction Film is the first book to fully explore all aspects of science fiction scriptwriting. Science fiction is not only the most powerful genre available to explore the human condition, it's also consistently the most profitable. Writing the Science Fiction Film describes the kinds of stories that work best as science fiction, explores the parameters of the science fiction genre, and shows what science fiction can offer to writers that other genres cannot.
