Storycraft Training Special - Free Episode

Dear Story Tellers and Mavens

Storycraft Training Special

FREE EPISODE

During February (2019) I'm offering an incentive to learn the Moral Premise concepts to all those who have been reluctant to crack my book The Moral Premise—the crux of successful storytelling since Plato, 2,500 years ago. Yes, it's been around that long...and yes, I know, my book came out only in 2006.

There are 3 (maybe 4) ways to learn this valuable concept and how to apply it in the many facets of your storytelling efforts.

a. Read the Book. (link)
b. Read over 200 of my blog posts.  (link)
c. Watch 10 episodes of Storycraft Training (7.5 hours in 20 videos).  (link)

But for February there's a short cut.

Here's the description of Episode 3

The Moral Premise Storycraft Training series is designed for storytellers of all media and genres

Program 3: The Moral Premise Statement. This 35-minute training episode explains the organic basis of the Moral Premise Statement, how it is constructed, how it is used, and how it focuses all the creative elements in a movie, novel or play so all the plots and subplots are about one thing. We also show clips from two films as examples. Prerequisite Recommendation: Episodes 1-2.

SPECIFICALLY, this program covers:
-- Verisimilitude: The integration of 3 critical elements of all successful stories: (1) ironic characters, (2) an impossibility hook, and (3) value based psychological motivations of the characters.
-- Relationship between the two-story realities: The Psychological and Physical worlds.
-- How moral values and decisions precipitate actions.
-- How actions result in physical consequences
-- How physical consequences inform moral value
-- The theoretical and practical structure of the Moral Premise statement
-- How the Moral Premise Statement is often articulated in movies
-- How the Moral Premise Statement keeps the story focused on one thing.
-- How the Moral Premise Statement provides support for character arcs.
-- Capstone example and clips from Die Hard
-- The fifth secret of successful story telling: Consistent Application of the Moral Premise

Bless your storytelling:
