A Gripping “Audio Movie” with Stellar Performances and an Epic Muse Soundtrack!

Revisado: 09-28-24

The only downside to this Audible production is the lack of clarity around what it actually is. Many might expect a traditional audiobook, but this is something different. If you’re looking for a straightforward reading of the book, you might feel let down. However, if you’re aware that this is a dramatized audio adaptation – a movie for your ears without the visuals – you’re in for a treat! I’d call it an “audio movie.” The production is fantastic! The performances are captivating, and the soundtrack by the legendary Muse adds an extra layer to the (deliciously) terrifying experience. You can almost see the story unfold as you listen. My ears were enthralled from beginning to end!

Indeed! The Last Book on Creating Binge-Worthy Content You'll Ever Need

Revisado: 07-16-21

This is my favorite book on TV / screen writing ever!!! I have listened to the book while reading it as well on my kindle.
First of all, the fact that the author Jamie Nash, read his own book is just cool, it sounds like a convo with him and it gives the book a lively feel.
Now let’s talk about the most important: the content of the book itself: it is a TREASURY. It is for me THE BIBLE of tv writing and indeed the last book you’ll ever need. I’ve read multiple books on screenwriting, especially for TV, although there are good ones with good pilots analysis out there, Jamie Nash’s book and insights are by far the ones that excited me the most. Jamie Nash clarified the whole 5-act thing (actually act outs like he said), broke down the TV franchises with the Save the Cat genres, the beat cheats, the beat board and every thing in such a clear and engaging way. I love how he always illustrates it with great examples. Why would you need anything else?
The only thing missing is a more detailed summary (ie: the pilot beat sheets, I would have loved to have them listed as sub chapters by pilot title in the summary so i could go ahead and watch / read them ahead of time - but not a big deal, I did it myself ;) This is THE BOOK. I have to say I am grateful especially because it helped me, in a way no one else did, getting a better direction on my own pilot. The franchise types gave me my first breakthrough, as well as the exercises (not only at the end of each chapter but inside each chapter). Huge thanks to the author (and of course Black Snider at the origins of Save the Cat) for this inspiring book!!!!
