My Thoughts on Cinema

The book “My Thoughts on Cinema: How to Translate Life into a Screenplay” by Antonio Lukich is an attempt by the director and screenwriter to fit into a few hundred pages the knowledge and creative techniques he accumulated over 15 years — tools that helped him along the way in writing three feature films: My Thoughts Are Silent, Luxembourg, Luxembourg and Screaming Girl.

It’s an easy, engaging and vividly written guide that can help with creating a film script building a strong story or simply diving into the world of cinema from the inside. The entire process is covered here: from working with ideas and characters to crafting dialogues and shaping the details of a plot.

The book will be useful for anyone who works with words and storytelling across different formats, is interested in screenwriting and storytelling, wants to deepen and systematize their knowledge or simply wishes to better understand “how it’s made” in cinema. It’s intended for the widest possible audience.
