"A film or video project is rarely shot without a script.
And, just as a screenplay is the script for the narrative of a story,
the storyboard is the visual script.
"


For over 20 years Marcie Begleiter has created visuals for motion media and taught filmmakers visual storytelling. Through workshops, private coaching, long-form classes and published work her techniques have been made available to a growing audience. Writers, directors, designers and others from films such as
Dreamgirls, Single White Female, Grey Gardens and The Strange Case of Benjamin Button have used these techniques and created pre-viz documents to support their projects. The information in "From Word to Image" and the parallel workshops have supported thousands of filmmakers in having successful production experiences.

"From Word to Image is one of the most invaluable film guides I've ever read — better than a year of film school. The visualization process of moviemaking is described with startling clarity and intelligence. Marcie Begleiter is the go-to teacher for learning the concepts and techniques behind creating a visual script"
