Summary/Abstract: The review explores the translation and significance of Steven Maras’s Screenwriting: History, Theory, and Practice into Romanian, emphasizing its relevance within the global academic and filmmaking landscape. Maras’s theoretical approach, influenced by Foucault and cultural studies, offers insights applicable beyond Hollywood, including to Romanian filmmaking practices. Despite differences between Hollywood and Romanian cinema, Maras’s work prompts critical reflection on power dynamics, institutional influences, and the visibility of screenwriters. It aids teaching by focusing it towards understanding screenwriting as a blueprint for production, highlighting the industrial dimensions of the craft.
