> Hi Everyone:

> After many years as a professional script writer, I've been offered to teach
> two graduate-level courses in _screenplay writing _ and _script analysis_
> for the spring semester in the country where I was born (Iran).
>
> Now, I was wondering if anybody out there could suggest appropriate texts
> and/or reading supplements for such courses. I'm sure the texts have changed
> dramatically since my college days at USC-Cinema in mid seventies!
>
> Although I'll be teaching the course in Persian, some decent
> English-language texts should come handy since, to my astonishment, I've
> found out that many of the students in this country have a rather admirable
> command of the English language.
>
> I do thank you in advance!
