A MUST SEE for any screenwriter, filmmaker or movie lover who wants the inside scoop on the hills and valleys that it takes to write a screenplay. A lot of talking heads... but very funny and inspirational. This is "from the trenches" and yields surprises. GoingGreenFilmFest.com HollywoodCharityAuction.com

Peter Hanson's great expose on the screenwriting game.

Great movie! Very funny and informative especially for those people who are screenwriters or directors.

A must see for any aspiring screenwriter. Learns the joys (apparently few) and pitfalls (apparently many) in being a screenwriter in Hollywood. In depth,thoughtful and often funny interviews with many of todays best screenwriters. I saw it at the Aero in Santa Monica which is an excellent place to see any movie. It's the way movies were meant to be seen.. in a classic building, with a staff that loves moves and with a neighborhood feel.

Though very well done, this film is definitely only for aspiring/working screenwriters -- or people interested in the behind-the-scenes mechanics of filmmaking, specifically the Hollywood film industry. It's not for the casual moviegoer only looking for entertaining anecdotes about toiling in the trenches of the movie business. While those anecdotes are there -- many of them very entertaining -- I suspect that the average viewer would find most of the rest of it rather dull. Even as a professional screenwriter, I found the film a bit too long and somewhat repetitive. I am very glad, however, that the writers were interviewed, their unique personalities captured on video for posterity -- especially the older, seasoned veterans of the craft, one of whom has already been lost (the film is dedicated to Melville Shavelson).
