Mamet AND Sorkin Agree 100% with This Screenwriting Concept

[@SergioValdez]

absolute gem of a channel, thank you

[@1GoodWoman]

Why do I think this was no accident? Oh they had fun! Thanks for sharing and teaching. More please. You are an excellent teacher( plenty of gibberish in this niche, nice to find coherent competence)

So simple yet so effective

Sorkin masterclass was amazing - I really need to watch Mamet's...Thanks for the suggestion! I feel like the two biggest ways in which I've grown as a screenwriter are looking for how to create intriguing conflict and asking before every single scene "what is each character's goal in this scene?"

What a perfect little video 👍

[@andyserkiz3384]

I developed a different system. The main parts are: 1) the hero's underlying desire and 2) their challenge ( that helps to fulfill the underlying desire). The practical goal you have mentioned only serves as something that is contained within the challenge.

[@Chantmagick]

Could this be the difference between external and internal goals?

[@andyserkiz3384]

@@Chantmagick In the way, yes. And they both need to serve the hero's soul experience trajectory. If you know the true meaning of the term karma in Sanskrit, and you apply it to your characters, it will be easy for you to connect their inner and outer goals.

Так что же тут нового кроме того, что розу в этом видео называют капустой?

Terminal has A to B. Lord of the Rings has A to B. Showgirls has A to B. Literally and socially. For a TV series, make it a metaphoric A to B. In Breaking Bad, Sopranos, and Penguin it is a social climb/descent. In Smallville, Heroes, and Daredevil s1 it's going from zero to hero.

It doesn't matter what you write. As long as you have coin, connections, crews, clout, computer code, control, corporate communities, and opulent opportunities, you can do whatever you wish. 💪😎✌️ But if you lack those things... ummm... yeeeah, yer not gonna do sheet, suckah! 😂🤣😂 #copium
