What people say:
"Myth and the Movies is strongly recommended reading for students of the cinema and is a fascinating work for non-specialist readers with an interest in filmmaking and storytelling in general." — The Midwest Book Review
"This book is a potential bible to writer's dealing with the dreaded 'block', offering numerous variations on successful narrative devices, and attesting itself to be a 'macguffin' of vital importance. Myth and the Movies is a highly recommended text for film students and aspiring screenwriters and storytellers alike." — London Script Consultancy
