    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Dedicated to the issues of writing the short script, Writing the Short Film outlines how this genre is as close to literary forms as it is to other film forms. Using writing exercises and strategies, it takes the writer all the way from the initial idea
    to the final script.



    'Writing the Short Film is the only book I know that deals with the short film specifically and any student or film writer should find it useful.' - Film West, December 1995
