Senior prom. Graduation day. Going off to college. In like vein, we're all familiar with the issues confronting adolescents. Forging an identity. Fitting in. Handling peer pressure. Bonds/bounds of friendship. Erosion of childhood illusions. Bridging the generation gap. Leaving the nest. Threshold: Scripting a Coming-of-Age offers film buffs and prospective screenwriters insights into the essential elements. Chapter 1 develops the four cornerstones of all scripts irrespective of genre. Chapter 2 covers the genre's distinctive features. Chapter 3 analyzes one classic coming-of-age in depth: River's Edge. Inspired by actual events, the 1987 film confronts its seventeen-year-old protagonist with a daunting threshold rarely encountered by mature adults. The book debuts three feature-film screenplays: ?Homies?; ?What Up Dawg?; ?What Are Brothers For? The respective protagonists?13, 19, 21?face age-appropriate challenges involving peer pressure, authority figures, and post-graduation blues.Sarno, Gregory is the author of 'Threshold Scripting a Coming-of-age', published 2005 under ISBN 9780595354801 and ISBN 0595354807.
