"This set of presentations is a wonderfully comprehensive overview of the role of storytelling in the world today. It would be impossible to find this material anywhere else."

Steve Denning, former world Bank, Exec, expert in use of story in business and knowledge management

 

 

“These tapes are a wonderful introduction to the diversity and expertise of the speakers. They contain knowledge about story that is not available anywhere else and is relevant no matter what kind of story, true or fiction, you want to create for whatever medium.”

    James Bonnet, Author, Stealing from the Gods, A Dynamic New Story Model for Writers and    Filmmakers, Screenwriter, and Teacher, James Bonnet’s Storymaking: The Master Class

Chris Huntley, co-creator and co-author of "Dramatica software.

"Excellent. I loved the twenty minute talks..... What a great idea. We got to hear the condensed version of everyone’s material-- a cross section of the best thinkers of our time on the topic of story. A multi-disciplinary dissection of how stories work in our minds, our relationships and our lives."
Dan Decker, Screenwriter, Playwright, author, Anatomy of A Screenplay, director of The Screenwriters Group, one of the largest independent schools for screenwriting in the country. Owner/ operator , Stylus Management, a writers management company

David Garfinkel is a leading direct-response copywriter, copywriting coach, and author of "The Money-Making Copywriting Course."

 

"As a screenwriter I enjoyed the wide array of philosophical and intellectual viewpoints I was exposed to. I came to this conference for a change from screenwriting "structure" and "format" and that’s what I’m getting. I’m already thinking about aspects and influences on my storytelling for the screen that I’ve never thought of before."

Lori Jaid, Screenwriter
