My newest project is an ensemble piece. Does anyone have any advice / books / films that would be helpful in writing a script with numerous characters and multiple plots??

No matter how large the cast, make sure every character is an argument regarding the main theme of your story.

What bob said. Aronsen is brilliant on multiple storylines.
