--Bill Johnson
"I have never reviewed anything on Amazon before but I feel so indebted to Bill Johnson that I have to give him a review. I
went to a big name film school for college and throughout the entire 4 years and thousands of dollars, I never learned more
about storytelling then I did reading this 3 dollar kindle book. Bill Johnson really gives you the map to the maze. Thank You Bill!"
