Inside Story offers the most important advancement in
screenwriting theory to come along in years. This innovative method for
structuring a screenplay is designed to keep writers focused on the
heart and soul of their story so that plot, character and theme create
a unified whole. Marks' method offers an easy to follow template for
story construction, helping the writer to identify what the story is
actually about: the thematic intention. It then uses the internal
character development of the protagonist as a vehicle to drive the
thematic intention and the line of action within the story.
