Storytelling is a perpetual battle between hubris & humility.
Hubris to believe that I am God delivering the Spark of Life.
Humility to accept that my effort will always come up short.

How a character sees their environment gives us insights into how they are feeling & what they are thinking.
What is a magnificent idyll in one moment may be a tortuous landscape in the next.
Similarly, two #characters can share the same space yet experience it differently.

Keeping out thoughts to ourselves was something we learned from a world that judged us, that told us to behave.
Let’s reverse that. Let’s reintroduce freewheeling, child-like abandon into our lives.

When watching films to improve your #storytelling, don’t forget to experience the film.
Let it impact you emotionally, because that feeling should guide your hand.
Any approach that is too analytical risks robbing the story of the very things that make it special & impactful.
