  PRAISE FOR LAURIE'S BOOKS:

"Laurie Hutzler has a method of exploring and developing characters that I personally found very useful.  Her gentle process of posing insightful questions should help any writer create deeper, richer and more vivid characters.”  Paul Haggis, Oscar®  Winning Producer and Co-Writer of Crash and Writer of Oscar® Winning Million Dollar Baby

“Laurie Hutzler has a terrific sense of story.  She has a gift for inspiring and motivating writers to do their best work.  Laurie’s approach will help any writer dig deeper and find the heart of their story.  Heart is what great storytelling is all about.”  Bobby Moresco,  Oscar® Winning Co-Writer of Crash

"Laurie has taught me more than anyone about the central importance of character in any screenplay. Her method of character analysis provides an invaluable tool for the writer who needs a non-destructive way to self-critique his or her screenplay. At the heart of every Academy Award® Winning Best Film, is a screenplay that is the Best.  Laurie's methods help writers create their Best."   Peter Fudakowski, Producer of Tsosti, Oscar® Winning Best Foreign Language Film

“The greatest fear for any writer is the blank page, whether you are starting to write for the first time or even if you have had a considerable amount of success. Laurie’s book takes away that fear of failure by offering bite sized exercises which will allow you to realize the dream of writing a full length screenplay, without having to change your life to achieve it.”    Henrietta Fudakowski, Story Editor of Tsotsi, Oscar® Winning Best Foreign Language Film

"By clearly demonstrating how to write a screenplay in a single hour a day, Laurie Hutzler has demolished the last great excuse not to write... Keep her book within easy reach and refer to it often, because it is an instruction manual for screenwriting success."  Michael Colleary, Co-Producer and Co-Writer of Box-Office Hit Face/Off, Co-Writer of Laura Croft Tomb Raider, and Producer and Co-Writer of Firehouse Dog
