By: Luca What is ambition? In the dictionary ambition is defined has “an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction‚ (ex) power‚ honor‚ fame‚ or wealth.

I just went through an interesting and instructive exercise; writing one-page synopses of three of my screenplays for a producer. Here’s what I learned: if you can’t write a gripping one-page synopsis of a screenplay‚ your plot points aren’t very dramatic.
