Screenwriting with John August

John August is a screenwriter living and working in Los Angeles. He runs johnaugust.com at his own expense. Why? Well ...

He's generally pretty philanthropic.
It gives him an excuse for not writing.
It exercises his inner geek.
It allows him to use fonts other than 12 pt Courier.
He's usually pretty sure he's right.
And most importantly, it lets him answer a given screenwriting question once, rather than 5,000 times.
Some of John's credits include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Big Fish, Go, and Charlie's Angels. He has degrees from Drake University and the Peter Stark Program in the School of Cinema-Television at the University of Southern California.

Although currently in a blog format, the website johnaugust.com features a search engine for August's archive of over a hundred articles originally written for the Internet Movie Database, one of my faves online and better known as the IMDb.
