These writers may know how to format a script, write snappy dialogue, and set a scene. They may have interesting characters and perhaps some clever plot devices. But, invariably, while they may have the kernel of a good idea for a screenplay, they fail to tell a \u003ci\u003estory\u003c\/i\u003e. What the 99 percent do instead is present a \u003ci\u003esituation\u003c\/i\u003e. In order to explain the difference, Chamberlain created the Nutshell Technique, a method whereby writers identify eight dynamic, interconnected elements that are required to successfully tell a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, for the first time, Chamberlain presents her unique method in book form with \u003ci\u003eThe Nutshell Technique: Crack the Secret of Successful Screenwriting\u003c\/i\u003e. Using easy-to-follow diagrams (\"nutshells\"), she thoroughly explains how the Nutshell Technique can make or break a film script. Chamberlain takes readers step-by-step through thirty classic and contemporary movies, showing how such dissimilar screenplays as \u003ci\u003eCasablanca\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChinatown\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePulp Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Usual Suspects\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLittle Miss Sunshine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJuno\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSilver Linings Playbook\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eArgo\u003c\/i\u003e all have the same system working behind the scenes, and she teaches readers exactly how to apply these principles to their own screenwriting. Learn the Nutshell Technique, and you'll discover how to turn a mere situation into a truly compelling screenplay story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJILL CHAMBERLAINAustin, TexasChamberlain is a sought-after script doctor, story consultant, and screenwriting coach who founded The Screenplay Workshop (www.thescreenplayworkshop.org).
