No one comes out of a movie talking about structure. What audiences love and remember about a movie are great scenes. Marlon Brando in the back seat in On the Waterfront giving his "I could'a been a contender" speech. Meg Ryan's fake orgasm in Katz's Deli in When Harry Met Sally with the climactic punch line: "I'll have what she's having." In Superbad, Jonah Hill professing "I love you" to his friend Michael Cera by touching his nose with a "boop".

What the 99 percent do instead is present a situation. 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. Now, for the first time, Chamberlain presents her unique method in audiobook form with The Nutshell Technique: Crack the Secret of Successful Screenwriting.

I love it. Finished the book in just one morning while sitting at work. I will definitely put into practice what I was taught in this book. It might be nice to also have some visual examples that mentioned. However now at least I have some terminology that I can google more examples on. Very informative highly recommend especially to those who know nothing about writing a screenplay

Unlistenable
What made the experience of listening to Screenwriting for Anyone the most enjoyable?
The book itself feels like it's written for beginners, which is great because it goes all the way down to how to handle a pitch meeting with a producer.
Would you be willing to try another one of Kelly Rhodes’s performances?
No. Never. Never ever. I'm am 99% convinced (not joking here) that this is a machine that reads text. Imagine the Google Maps voice or Siri reading a book to you. It's LITERALLY that robotic. I found it unlistenable.
Any additional comments?
Consider the book. Don't get this audiobook.
