Numbers (Screenplay)
Written by Shari Berman, Published by (Screen)play Press
In a society where people have numbers instead of names, a young woman must gain the courage to go against the safety of her computerized world in order to rescue her long-lost brother and avoid losing her own humanity. Numbers is a humorous science fiction screenplay with an intricately crafted world, quirky characters and a thought provoking view of the future of civilization.
“The narrative is engrossing, driven by exceptional suspense that compels readers to stay engaged until the very last page.”Omobolanle Savage, onlinebookclub
Read the full review here.
This book uses humorous, personal anecdotes and sound advice to explain why artists matter and offer a path to keeping your artistry moving forward without going into debt.
It is a pushback against shysters who will take you for every penny you have, promising you success without understanding what it means to be successful as an artist, just what it means to their own bank accounts.
If you are looking for guidance on getting an indie film off the ground, a cheerleader for those days where you wonder if it is just you or if everyone is broken or just someone to confirm you are insane for making films and should keep doing it anyway, this book is for you. Sincerely, artists matter. This book will keep you going.
To be released March 15! Beware the Ides of March! :-)
