Summary

Movie Script Rewrites explores the often-hidden world of film production, revealing how movie script rewrites can dramatically shape a film's destiny. Delving into the collaborative yet sometimes contentious nature of filmmaking, the book examines the impact of script revisions on plot, character development, and dialogue. Discover how studio interference and creative vision collide, influencing the final product and the power dynamics within the film industry. The book dissects successful rewrites and behind-the-scenes battles, highlighting the conflicting agendas of writers, directors, and studio executives.

Unfolding in three parts, the book first introduces core concepts of script analysis, then moves to case studies, and concludes with practical insights into the screenwriting process.

Letters to Gwen John

Celia Paul

Celia Paul's Letters to Gwen John centers on a series of letters addressed to the Welsh painter Gwen John (1876–1939), who has long been a tutelary spirit for Paul. John spent much of her life in France, making art on her own terms and, like Paul, painting mostly women. John's reputation was overshadowed during her lifetime by her brother, Augustus John, and her lover Auguste Rodin. Through the epistolary form, Paul draws fruitful comparisons between John's life and her own: their shared resolve to protect the sources of their creativity, their fierce commitment to painting, and the ways in which their associations with older male artists affected the public's reception of their work. 
 
 
 
Letters to Gwen John is at once an intimate correspondence, an illuminating portrait of two painters, and a writer/artist's daybook, describing Paul's first exhibitions in America, her search for new forms, her husband's diagnosis of cancer, and the onset of the global pandemic. Paul, who first revealed her talents as a writer with her memoir, Self-Portrait, enters with courage and resolve into new unguarded territory—the artist at present—and the work required to make art out of the turbulence of life. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
