Why You Must Believe Your Story
|
|
|
|
|
Are you in
love with the art in yourself or yourself in the art?
|
|
|
|
|
The young are
taught that Hollywood and art are antithetical. The novice, therefore,
wanting to be recognized as an artist, falls into the trap of writing a
screenplay not for what it is, but for what it is not. They avoid
closure, active characters, and causality in order to avoid the taint
of commercialism. As a result, pretentiousness poisons their work.
|
|
|
|
|
Your story is
the embodiment of your ideas and passions. When you work with one eye
on your story, and one eye on the marketplace, making eccentric choices
to avoid the mainstream, you produce the literary equivalent of a
temper tantrum.
|
|
|
|
|
Examine your
motives for wanting to write the way you write. Every story you create
says to the audience: “I believe life is like this.” Every
moment must be filled with your passionate conviction or the audience
smells a phony.
|
|
|
|
|
Difference for
the sake of difference is as empty an achievement as slavishly
following the commercial imperative.
|
|
|
|
|
Write only
what you believe.
|
|
|
|
Learn to wield
the power of truth with Robert McKee online.

"A big
thank you for the wonderful, inspirational teachings from Robert! I'm
so glad to be part of this, and taking so many new thoughts and ideas
from it for my own writing!"

The World Needs Your Story
|
|
|
|
|
The world’s
ravenous appetite for story is a reflection of the profound human need
to grasp the patterns of living, not merely as an intellectual
exercise, but within a very personal, emotional experience.
|
|
|
|
|
As a writer,
you alone have the tools to craft the vehicle that carries us on our
search for reality, our best effort to make sense out of the anarchy of
existence.

McKee Team would like to wish you all a great start to the new year.

say that many are happy to put 2020 behind them. Indeed, some might

you keen on looking back, or who were prevented from participating in
the many online learning opportunities we offered last year, we've got
you covered...

"Everything's always about page-turning, right? So,
if you create questions for audiences, then they'll want to know the
answer."
- RON HOWARD
Academy Award-Winning Director, Producer and Actor
A BEAUTIFUL MIND /
APOLLO 13
|
|
|
|
|
When a gap
opens between expectation and result, it jolts the audience with
surprise. The world has reacted in a way neither character nor audience
had foreseen. This moment of shock instantly provokes curiosity as the
audience wonders “Why?”
|
|
|
|
|
The nimble and
perceptive mind of the audience finds the answers in a flash of
understanding. The question “Why?” propels it back through the
story, and what it’s seen so far instantly clicks into a new
configuration, revealing a hidden layer of truth.
|
|
|
|
|
This new understanding amplifies the questions “What’s
going to happen next?” and “How will this turn out?”
As a writer, you must now satisfy the curiosity you’ve created.
|
|
|
|
|
The master
storyteller leads us into expectation, makes us think we understand,
then cracks open reality, creating surprise and curiosity, sending us
back through the story again and again. On each trip back, we gain
deeper and deeper insight.
|
|
|
|
|
Insight is the
audience’s reward for paying attention, and a beautifully designed
story delivers this pleasure scene after scene.
|
|
|
|

create surprise, curiosity and insight in Part 1 of McKee's Spring
Webinar Program: "Building a
Scene"
