I applaud this facet of his personality. Unfortunately my minor contribution to the genre has aroused nothing but his ire. Should I defend myself? Would it not be better to pretend I never saw his work? Well, as he has based his attack on little more than 2 songs from one of my more successful efforts, a show about an ...             Ready for My Close-Up!: Great Movie Speeches Denny Martin Flinn Limelight Editions, 2007 "If I want to send a message, I'll call Western Union." This famous line has been attributed to various movie moguls, yet while these moguls ruled the Hollywood studio system, movies were in the midst of a golden age of dialogue. Films included more messages, ideas, themes, and pontifications than they ever have since. Although producers trembled at commands from the front office, writers (the low men and women on the totem pole) went quietly to ...             The Fearful Summons1 review Denny Martin Flinn Pocket Books, 1995 Excellent story. Set in the period shortly after the sixth Star Trek movie, "The Undiscovered Country", the first half of this story focuses on Captain Sulu of the Excelsior and his crew, while the second half deals with Kirk and the remaining command crew of the Enterprise as they learn that Sulu is in trouble and come to the rescue. I have mixed feelings about the basic concept; I like to think that Sulu and ...             How Not to Audition: Avoiding the Common Mistakes Most Actors Make6 reviews Ellie Kanner, Denny Martin Flinn Lone Eagle, 2003 From the Publisher Ellie Kanner and Denny Martin Flinn's book is mandatory reading for any actor smart enough to realize that it all starts with the audition, and can just as easily end there.

I've written almost 3 screenplays, and had them critiqued in class. So, I would say that I am an beginner-intermediate level. This book is an excellent resource for those who are already familiar with good screenwriting rules and formats, and need to refine these points. I saw many of my own ...             The Fearful Summons (Star Trek, Book 74)9 reviews Denny Martin Flinn Pocket Books, 1995 A Great Classic Star Trek Novel The plot is great and it kept me wanting more for the entire novel. As an added gem, Kirk's round up of his crew was actually written to be at the beginning of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, but budget limitations prevented it from being filmed. Flinn used the script written for those scenes and transformed it into prose for this novel. Well done!             Little Musicals for Little Theatres: A Reference Guide for Musicals That Don't Need Chandeliers or ...5 reviews Denny Martin Flinn Limelight Editions, 2005 Over a hundred small musicals which any theatre can produce Over a hundred small musicals which any theatre can produce is packed into a guide which uses the background of its experienced Broadway producer author to select among the few musicals that have small casts and can be performed on a budget.
