THE SEMINAR


MASTERING THE POWER OF STORY

Redefining Story, Craft, Collaboration, & Success
in the Emerging Media and Brave New World


Regardless of your current or desired role in the creative and commercial processes of filmmaking, media development, and/or strategic planning and project development in virtually any arena, everything you do is a manifestation of story and storytelling.

If you are a writer, you must divine, define, and powerfully express your story in a way that speaks to and moves actors, directors, producers, publishers, and ultimately an audience. 

If you are an actor, director, producer, or development exec, you must clearly convey your needs and vision to guide your best from writers AND know how to listen to draw out and get theirs. 

If you are a studio or marketing executive really worth your salt, you must know how to assure you have the goods for more than just a marketing campaign for a successful opening weekend.

And if you are a planner, manager, or change agent of any kind in the reel or real world, you must effectively divine, communicate, and engage others in your vision of possibility and change.

IDEAL FOR: Actors | Agents & Managers | Writers, Screenwriters, & Journalists
Narrative & Documentary Filmmakers | Producers, Directors, & Development Execs
Media, Marketing, & Communications Professionals | Public & Professional Speakers
Corporate Executives | Social Entrepreneurs & Change Agents of all kinds
 Potential Financiers & Investors | Everyday Heroes & Public at Large

Seminar Syllabus


"Since the best stories are the ones that are the most like life, it should follow that the best story teachers open a window to more than just stories. 

Patrick’s seminars open a window into the process that helps writers get underneath all the stuff they think they have to do, and plug into what they’re meant to do. 

It is both practical and magical, and well worth the visit for any writer who really wants to cross that bridge."

Jeff Arch,
“Sleepless in Seattle"
