Aristotle's Poetics for Screenwriters by Michael Tierno
Long considered the bible for storytellers, now Michael Tierno shows how Aristotle's Poetics can be an invaluable resource to screenwriters. Breaking down the fundamentals of screenwriting chapter by chapter, Tierno uses examples from some of the best films ever made to demonstrate how one can apply Aristotle's ancient insights to modern-day screenwriting. Written in a highly readable, informal tone, Tierno makes this monumental work accessible to beginners and pros alike in areas such as screenwriting, film theory, fiction and playwriting.
Michael Tierno is an award-winning writer/ director of feature films including the independent film Auditions. He is a story analyst for Miramax Films and teaches screenwriting seminars nationwide. He lives in New York City.
