9TimeZones.com - An eMail Screenplay Collaboration Between Hungary and L.A.

Imagine writing your script with a mysterious stranger who's half a world away. Brief phone calls reveal some of the puzzle, but a short-story-filled eMail exchange provides the real key. If you wanted to share this correspondence, what would you do? This book is a how-to, showing rather than telling the art of screenplay collaboration online. The bulk of the text consists of communications between two widely-separated partners, as they solve the problems faced by all distance collaborators. The emails are interspersed with literary examples (short stories, etc.) that serve as teaching moments. The screenplay scenes are numbered, as they are completed, and the finished screenplay is contained in the appendix, with the scenes in numerical order. Some readers have described the book as "a master-class seminar in script collaboration."
