Inhaltsangabe

Writers seeking to create novels and screenplays with genuine layers and depth will find essential insight in Mitchell German’s Your Storytelling Potential!

After studying filmmaking and screenwriting at NYU—one of the premier film studies programs in the United States (if not the world)—Mitchell German graduated with a complete doctrine on storytelling theory in his arsenal; yet his screenplays still lacked the potency he desired. He spent ten years studying every available book and “expert” on storytelling, but it wasn’t until 2002, after endlessly studying the movie Liar Liar, that Mitchell found the key and developed the Your Storytelling Potential Method. 

The truth about great storytelling is hidden in plain view for anyone to see, but nearly every expert ignores the most basic story construct. In Your Storytelling Potential, writers who seek to tell great stories will find:

• A complete understanding of the Identifiable Traits great novels and screenplays (namely movies) have that distinguish them from the other 99.99% of books and screenplays written every year
• How to use Two Stories within a screenplay and novel, which exponentially increases the chances of those stories gaining buzz and attention 
• A proper understanding of the critical and essential role of Subplots to create genuine character depth and relationships
• How to properly integrate a Theme for stories to convey deep, relevant, and amazing ideas 
• An outline for utilizing A/B Parallel Story Structure and the Simple Story Timeline to build multi-dimensional stories with the required converging events of the A-Story/B-Story relationship
  

How the premise of every great story is created by the convergence of the A & B Storylines, and how this Key Information can unlock Your Storytelling Potential

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Motivated to become an exceptional storyteller through film and visual media, Mitchell German studied filmmaking and screenwriting at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts—one of the premier film studies programs in the United States (if not the world). He graduated with a complete doctrine on storytelling theory in his arsenal; yet something was still missing in his understanding of the way stories operated. 

Mitchell spent ten years studying every available book and “expert” on storytelling, but he found they mostly taught the same regurgitated information. It wasn’t until 2002, after endlessly studying the movie Liar Liar, that Mitchell discovered the key and developed his unique approach to story construction that would become Your Storytelling Potential. 

His storytelling method formed the basis of the first instructional course he compiled for screenwriters—the Mega Course—as well as his enormously successful Plot Control screenwriting software that has since been adapted for novelists (Chapter Control), television writers and producers (Episode Control), college essay writers (Essay Dog), and even business entrepreneurs running webinars and launching new products. Today, Mitchell’s book Your Storytelling Potential is an essential resource for writers of all backgrounds and experience levels. He currently resides outside of West Palm Beach, FL. 

Screenplay writer, stand-up comic, and actor Russell Phillips is a graduate of SMU’s Communications Program (Cinema Sequence) in Dallas, Texas. As a student, he earned a spot in visiting UCLA professor Richard Walter’s screenwriting seminar. Russell’s scripts helped him forge valuable industry contacts, but none of the projects quite came together. In the pursuit of stronger script writing skills, he acquired a robust library of how-to books and continued to register for available advanced learning courses—until he found Mitchell German’s Your Storytelling Potential Method.

Russell was an early Plot Control user and Mega Course student. After many years away from creative writing, he revisited the Mega Course during the early days of the 2020 worldwide pandemic and found the message of Thematic Relevance powerfully resonant. He recognized that Mitchell German’s method was not a mere explanation of storytelling ideas, but a very different model for story construction. Today, Russell enthusiastically joins Mitchell to help bring the method Your Storytelling Potential Method to top professional and novice author-storytellers the world over. He currently resides in East Texas.
