Somehow this is my favorite book on screenwriting

It’s a great overview of how to tell your story and gives plenty of examples of what does and does not work when tackling this endeavor. Brandon also does an excellent job narrating. It takes years of experience and hard-earned knowledge to articulate what seems rather obvious. But that’s why Brandon such an exceptional teacher. Communicating these elements of storytelling in a concise manner is a feat to be commended. I strongly recommend it.
