'Set in today's Hollywood, and narrated by screenwriter, Clint Westwood, The Screenplay takes you on the journey of the making of a film. From the initial story concept, drawn from the screenwriter's own life, through the complex processes of raising finance, appointing the director and key personnel, casting, and logistical organisation, The Screenplay gives you an insight into the exciting as well as the not-so-glamorous sides of movie-making in Hollywood. At the same time, the writer is embarking on another project, a novel, in which the hero sets off on an odyssey in search of great wines around the world. Supported by his loving but long-suffering wife Kate, Clint copes with the ever-changing demands of the director and producer for re-writes, but a few glasses of wine at the end of the day makes it all worthwhile.'
