Well as some of you may know, I just wrapped up a week at the Visual Story Network Conference here in Fort Lauderdale. It was a fruitful time and many good friendships were made. A wide variety of people attended including hollywood film people, non-profit execs, and business/investors as well…
I learned a lot about the truth of storytelling and what an impact it can have on someone’s life. One of the books mentioned in the conference as a “must read” was the book “Story” by Robert McKee. A man universally regarded as the world’s premier screenwriting teacher. He has taught more than 35,000 grad students.
Well, I’m no screenwriter.
But I tell you that in every aspect of what i do in the media industry, whether it be documentary or 4 min promotionals or telling a friend a story, I will be using the techniques found in this book. Its not a quick read (417 pages). I started the journey around 2 hours ago and tackled a mere 40 pages. In that 40 pages, I learned more than I have ever learned in any schooling or classroom setting on story development.
$35.00 book = lifetime of dynamic storytelling.
a worthy investment. pick up a copy.
I have found that everything if life is a story. Every conversation and every encounter. As I walked off the plane from Baltimore every encounter I had with people, I was thinking it in story form. Its weird that you can control/recognize the “ebb and flow” of conversations when you think like a story. Everything you do is forming a story. What’s your story?
After the launch of the successful Podcast initiative in December 2007, the media sector for Book of Hope has seriously takin’ off. Many things are in the works for this great Non-Profit committed to bringing God’s Word to all the Children and Youth of the world. This year Book of Hope will produce 52 podcasts to release weekly.
