PODCAST – A TRIP TO CAMBODIA, 7 ACT STRUCTURE & THE ART OF THE OUTLINE

Those are the goals that I care about when I am on a vacation, just like it’s my goal to focus on being present with my characters when I write. That's my real goal. I just want to have an adventure and I really don't care what happens. I want to experience a culture that's different from mine. It's about meeting people who are different from me. That's what's exciting about my trip.

So that's why it doesn't matter if I make it to Angkor Wat; it doesn't matter if I spend my whole time in Phnom Phen; it doesn't matter if I end up on a random beach somewhere for four days. None of these things matter because I don't care what happens to me once I'm there. And that's a way to build a script. We're simply following your character's objective in the moment rather than trying to build their super-objective.

Rather than looking at movies in terms of "two thumbs up" or "two thumbs down" Award Winning Screenwriter Jacob Krueger discusses what you can learn from them as a screenwriter. He looks at good movies, bad movies, movies we love, and movies we hate, exploring how they were built, and how you can apply those lessons to your own writing.
