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.

"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"
