Five Steps From Blank Page to Movie Release

There are five steps between the idea for writing a screenplay and its successful release as a movie to theaters: 1. write the screenplay, 2. sell the screenplay, 3. fund for the movie, 4. make the movie and 5. distribute the movie. Most books about the writing/filmmaking process deal with one step or a portion of one step. This book is about one process with five complicated, integrated and challenging steps.
