Both of Stuart Voytilla's books, Myth and the Movies and Writing the Comedy Film are available at film booksellers everywhere, or directly from the publisher, Michael Wiese Production. Critical acclaim for his books: Writing the Comedy Film "A rousing round of applause for Voytilla and Petri. They have successfully cut open the drum of humor and let us see what all the noise is about. A classic repository of the whys and wherefores of motion picture comedy." - Gloria Stern (author, Do the Write Thing: Making the Transition to Professional)


Myth and the Movies "Stuart Voytilla's Myth and the Movies is a remarkable achievement: and ambitious, thought-provoking, and cogent analysis of the mythic underpinnings of fifty great movies. It should prove a valuable resource for film teachers, students, critics and especially screenwriters, whose challenge, as Voytilla so clearly understands, is to constantly reinvent a mythology for our times." - Ted Tally (Academy Award winning screenwriter, Silence of the Lambs) "I've script consulted for ten years and I've studied every genre thoroughly. I thought I knew all their nuances - until I read Voytilla's book. This one goes on my Recommended Reading list. A fascinating analysis of the Her's Myth for all genres." - Lou Grantt, Editor (Hollywood Scriptwriter Magazine)
