Killing My Darlings
Filed Under Free Content, Newsletters | Leave a Comment
This blog started when a certain analysis of Michael Mann’s THE INSIDER sparked my frustration. Discussing BLADE RUNNER in a story workshop recently, I felt I was close to doing the exact same thing. To this date I don’t fully agree with her INSIDER analysis but Linda Aronson taught me this: to learn story, you will have to be ready to tear your favourite films apart.

The Secret
Filed Under Free Content, Newsletters | Leave a Comment
While you were out celebrating New Year’s Eve, I was watching David Cronenberg’s eXistenZ on DVD. Not that I’m such a pathetic hermit; it was just my wife’s fun idea of closing the Old Year. She admitted afterwards she might have been wrong. Missing the Sydney Fireworks and all that.

“The more time spent with a character, the more opportunity to witness his choices. The result is more empathy and emotional involvement between audience and character.”
-Robert McKee
