←It's called 'the MOVIES'. So keep things moving! But don't just show characters walking, running, driving because they have to go from A to B. To create mythical stories, all trips must be thresholds. The character doesn't just move in geographical space. They 'move on', move forward, choose a new direction, and 'get unstuck'. Scenes or sequences of movement are most powerful when they signify a threshold; when we enter a new phase of the story. Any other travel will be an expensive series of shots that likely ends in the 'deleted' bin. #storytelling #screenwriting #screenplay #herosjourney #myth #scriptwriting #indiefilm #filmmaking #amwriting #writing #creativewriting #character #structure #courses #writingcourse

My friend Frances says "It's a lot like writing – a few good ingredients, preparation, right equipment, lots of practice, painstaking attention to detail, and an appreciative audience make all the difference." It took indeed all of the above. And still it's not perfect, but good enough to show, share, and get feedback. I worked months in quiet before I showed it to the world. Just like that first draft you're developing…⁠⁠#sourdough #baking #bread #wholemeal #storytelling #screenwriting #development #wholesome
