Biography
Ken Dancyger is Professor of Film and Television at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. He teaches script and post-production workshops worldwide and is the author of seven books on screenwriting, editing, and production including Alternative Scriptwriting, 5th edition with Jeff Rush; The Technique of Film and Video Editing, 6th edition; Global Scriptwriting; and The Director’s Idea.
‘Ken Dancyger has done the impossible – synthesizing decades of insight about the power of screenwriting, directing, and editing into one volume. Classic and modern examples, from both film and television, precisely illustrate his unified theory. I can’t imagine a more comprehensive vision of the art and craft storytelling.’
Eric R. Williams, Screenwriter, Author, and Director of the MFA in Communication Media Arts program, Ohio University
