From Spark to Screen: The Complete Short Film-in-a-Book Workshop

Have you ever watched a powerful short film and thought, “I could do that”—only to get stopped cold by the sheer complexity of it all?

From Spark to Screen is your personal, all-in-one workshop, designed to guide you step by step through the entire process of creating your own short film. This is more than a guide. It’s a complete, structured course in a book.

With practical exercises at the end of each chapter, this book is built for action. It turns abstract concepts into real skills. You won’t just read about screenwriting—you’ll write a scene.
