Help Make This Important Book Happen
Just over a month ago, my good friend writer/director/producer Scott W. Smith put up his 1,000th post on his Emmy-winning blog Screenwriting From Iowa. For the last several years, Scott has posted Every Single Day. Stop and think about that: even the bad stuff we do, we don’t manage to work it into every day, right? Much less so, the good stuff. Amazing accomplishment.
But more than just being prolific, Scott is insightful. A true student of screenwriting, he has ingested every school of thought and book on screenwriting out there. The suggestions and inspiration he offers on his blog come from these teachers, from writing his own scripts, and from his experiences in traveling the country and world.
Now, Scott has taken the best of his Screenwriting From Iowa writings and put it into a book form. He’s using Kickstarter to get the initial funding together to get this thing off the ground. As of this writing, there are 7 days left in the campaign with about $3,000 in backing to go. If you love films like me, please consider getting involved. Great movies come from great scripts and Scott’s book will, without a doubt, inspire screenwriters in “Iowa… And Other Unlikely Places.”
