Yang Writes Yang Hu

- TV & Film
My name is Yang, and I want to teach you screenwriting. Why? Because I like talking about screenwriting and all my family and friends are sick of me. But more so because I feel the CRAFT of the screenwriting is no longer being taught in film schools. It wasn't taught when I attended, and it's definitely not being taught right now. And even if you are not interested in becoming a professional screenwriter, learning a bit about how stories work in movies will add to your movie viewing experience.
So buckle-up and get ready for a wild ride. Because where we're going, we don't need roads.
