The Screenwriter Activist: Writing Social Issue Movies

"Through her analysis and insight, Marilyn Beker inspires screenwriters to produce transformational, uplifting stories, stories that have lasting value. This book is essential reading for those writers who aspire to write screenplays with the power to make just this kind of positive, global impact." -Leslie Kreiner Wilson, Director, MFA Program in Writing for Screen & Television, Pepperdine University "Beker's The Screenwriter Activist offers much more than the usual rehash of standard screenwriting advice. Her inventive narrative models offer the writer seven systematically designed plans for crafting believable, relevant, and pointed advocacy screenplays." -J. Dennis Bounds, Associate Professor of Cinema-TV, Regent University
