Dr. Maura Pilotti,Assistant Professor of Psychology Dowling College – :
An insightful account of how psychological knowledge can elucidate and guide any filmmaking experience.Unquestionably, it is must read material for screenwriters and anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of storytelling in the motion picture industry.
Screentalk Magazine – :
Indick brilliantly manages to bridge the gap between psychological theory and its application for screenwriting.The most important insight a writer can get from this book, is that it helps understand why a character’s behavior comes across as unbelievable. In the majority of cases, this will be because stages in a psychological process have been skipped or portrayed wrongly. An excellent addition to every screenwriter’s bookshelf.
Guido Henkel,DVD Review – :
I found the book extremely well written and readable and, more importantly, easy to understand even without a Ph. D. in psychology. It is a hands-on study of character traits and how they define people and their enacting with the social world around them. Great stuff.
