Romancing The A-List by Christopher Keane
After author Chris Keane has written books that have been made into movies and series, The Hunter (Paramount) and The Huntress (TV series on USA Network), along with teaching at Harvard and NYU and writing features, he came to the conclusion that the best way by far to get you book or screenplay into production is to place the greatest amount of focuis on the central character. It makes sense. Agents and managers want their star clients to star in movies that will enhance their careers. And so Chris wrote Romancing The A-List. This book follows his international bestselling How To Write A Selling Screenplay. "Chris Keane's emphasis on developing a central character as the way to get A-List actors to come on board is quite simply brilliant." -- - Margaret Lazarus and Renner Wunderlich, Oscar Winners for Saving their Lives and members of the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Chris Keane's Romancing The A-List stands head and shoulders above a very crowded field of "how to" books. Successful both as a writer and teacher, Keane explains the tactics necessary for building a story and getting it into the marketplace. Essential reading for anyone interested in a career in screen writing. -- Michael Miner, director, The Book Of Stars, co-writer, Robocop and Anacondas: Hunt For The Blood Orchid
Christopher Keane has written fourteen fiction and non fiction books including The Hunter (a Paramount feature, Steve McQueen's last picture -- and his first book and movie, at age 23). The Huntress (a USA TV series) and The Crossing (WB).He has taught or lectured screen and novel writing at Harvard, Emerson College in Boston, NYU, LMU Grad School (LA) Notheastern University and spoken on screenwriting at The Smithsonian Institution, The National Press Club, Maui Writers, LA Screenwriting Expo and many more.
