Creating Blockbusters!

By: Gene Del Vecchio

Welcome to my site. Its objective is to help you create and market blockbuster films, TV shows, novels, and story-based video games and toys. So check out my new book, Creating Blockbusters!, review my previous books, read my blog, and contact me with questions. I’m here to help. The new book, Creating Blockbusters!, will show you how to create, develop, and market blockbuster screenplays, novels, and even story-based video games and toys. It is based upon my 30 years as a researcher and consultant in the entertainment and youth marketing business, insights drawn from other senior executives around the country, and new research among 400 audience members that details what audiences want. Just click here when you are ready to purchase. I have also had extensive experience across many other youth marketing categories  including packaged goods, technology and more.

“Creating Blockbusters! is a blockbuster in itself…useful to creators not only of films, books, games, and toys, but of any story, of any size, in any format…fresh insight into the nature of narrative.” -Richard Walter, Professor and Screenwriting Chairman, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television

  • This book provides concrete tools to help you generate ideas, right now, for the next blockbuster.
  • This book is written from the point of view of what audiences want to buy, not from the point of view of what you can sell to Hollywood (pandering to studio executives doesn’t equate to in-market success).

  • This book is from an author who is both a researcher and a writer/novelist; which allows him to bridge the gap between audience research and storytelling.
