Favorite Movies, part 1




Hide and Create show

Summary: Welcome to 2015 and Season 3 of Hide and Create, dear listeners! This week on Hide and Create, Debbie Viguie, Michael J. Sullivan, Jordan Ellinger, and Joshua Essoe talk about their favorite movies and what we can take away from them in terms of story-telling. What makes your favorite movies your favorites? What in them speaks to you, moves you, resonates with you? Because determining these things is a powerful exercise in figuring out appeal, and storytelling, and even in helping you determine what kind of stories you’d be good at writing. They provide a wonderful template, when dissected, of how to make that emotional connection with an audience–what did the movie do right to get your blood racing, to make you cheer,  or to make you cry? Now take those things and go put them in your writing.
