Asteroid City (adapted from a "hypothetical" play) takes place in a fictional desert town, circa 1955. Synopsis: the itinerary of the annual Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention (organized to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition) is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events. A theatrical ensemble character piece; a poetic meditation on the meaning of life. In addition to the screenplay, this volume also contains a gallery of images and a conversation about the film with Wes Anderson, Roman Coppola, Jason Schwartzman, and Jake Ryan. One source of artistic inspiration describes the phenomena the movie attempts to illustrate:"For me, the American West is the place where things fall apart. Civilization simply passed through: first a century ago by rail, then in our own century by car... Only a few people stayed, leaving the gas stations and the unneeded cars rusting away everywhere. The decay goes rapidly in the heat, sun, and rain. You have the feeling that in another hundred years there will be nothing of all this left at all." - Wim Wenders (1987)

Asteroid City

The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the two World Wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend.

âEUR¿For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her RomeoâEUR(TM)A bloody feud. A tangled love. A senseless tragedy that brings two families to their knees. After a chance meeting at a ball, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet fall desperately in love. But their families are locked in a bitter rivalry, their love forbidden. Worse still, JulietâEUR(TM)s family already expect her to marry her suitor, Count Paris. Determined to save their love, Romeo and Juliet wed in secret. But when a fight erupts that leaves Montagues and Capulets dead, Romeo is banished from Verona, forcing Juliet to take desperate measures that spell tragedy for the star-crossed lovers. Romeo and Juliet is ShakespeareâEUR(TM)s masterclass in tales of love and loss, and the origin of the lovestruck, star-crossed lovers. Discover STAGED, a limited collection of ShakespeareâEUR(TM)s unabridged plays that celebrates the genius of the Bard and the tropes that continue to delight YA readers to this day.

Putting a vision on the page for creative and commercial video is harder than it seems, but author Carey Martin explains how to bring these tools to bear in the "work for hire" environment.

How to Write True Scripts for Creative and Commercial Video

Applied Screenwriting

Everybody has a story in them. Some people lack the language and the tools to tell that story effectively. As an avid Tabletop Role-Playing Game player, I'm amazed at people's ability to tell stories on the spot. Both the players and the game master are creating worlds in their minds and playing out the events, using improv, in real-time.

A TTRPG Approach to Storytelling

Cinematic Worldbuilding

"Ursula Parrott longed to be a hard-boiled city reporter, but when the sexism of the newspaper industry thwarted her ambitions, she found her voice—and made her fortune—by turning to fiction. She scandalized readers with her nuanced, world-weary stories of women who discovered that the sexual revolution of the Jazz Age wasn't always the great gift to women that it was cracked up to be. With her sharp wit, rebellious ambition, and tragic love life, Ursula Parrott deserves to be celebrated alongside greats like Dawn Powell and Dorothy Parker. A pleasure to read."—Debby Applegate, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of&nbsp;Madam: The Biography of Polly Adler, Icon of the Jazz Age "An incisive portrait of a thoroughly modern woman careening through a meteoric literary career and a reckless personal life, from the Jazz Age to the postwar era. Ursula Parrott's massive output of popular fiction, says Marsha Gordon, 'pulled back the curtain on women's debased circumstances in a permissive age'—which is precisely what Gordon does here, to devastating effect, with Parrott herself."—Thomas&nbsp;Schatz, author of&nbsp;The Genius of the System: Hollywood Filmmaking in the Studio Era "Ursula Parrott finally gets her due in Gordon's revelatory book.&nbsp;Drawing upon exhaustive archival research, Gordon tells the fascinating story of the best-selling novelist whose tumultuous personal life eventually eclipsed her literary career. But Gordon does more than shine a light on an unjustly forgotten writer—she asks us to consider&nbsp;why&nbsp;she was forgotten. In her work and her life, Parrott explored the paradoxes of modernity for American women—what she saw as the illusory nature of equality for 'leftover ladies,' divorcees or unmarried career women whose lives did not unfold according to the conventional marriage plot. Parrott's trenchant observations arose from her own life but were ahead of her time. Thanks to Gordon's masterful biography, her moment has finally arrived."—Cara Robertson, author of&nbsp;The Trial of Lizzie Borden "Becoming the Ex-Wife&nbsp;is just the kind of book I love to read—remarkably well researched and entertaining. Gordon deftly shows why Ursula Parrott more than deserves a place on the shelf."—Cari Beauchamp, author of&nbsp;Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood "In her sparklingly clear and vital new biography, Gordon recovers the story of a singular writer and unhappy woman, who shot to fame with a novel called Ex-Wife and carried that tag around with her for the rest of her life. Although she warns that it is not 'an inspirational feminist story,' Gordon's colorful account is salutary all the same, exposing the ways in which even the most successful women's writing can be dismissed and forgotten, and restoring Ursula Parrott to our attention with sympathy and warmth."—Joanna Scutts, author of&nbsp;Hotbed: Bohemian Greenwich Village and the Secret Club That Sparked Modern Feminism "What a fascinating history Gordon charts! Long before Betty Friedan and Helen Gurley Brown, Ursula Parrott voiced the entanglements of modern femininity for educated white women of her generation. Gordon's account of Parrott's life and work—at once typical and utterly astonishing—is smart, witty, and engaging."—Shelley Stamp, author of Lois Weber in Early Hollywood
