«The Secrets of Great Stories: Workshop with Paul Brown
Most movies aim to entertain us. But great movies have the power to inspire, challenge, and transform us — staying in our hearts and minds forever.
In this fun and fascinating event given by Paul Brown, we’ll view key scenes from Disney/Pixar’s fantasy adventure «WALL-E.» This Academy Award winning classic reveals how great stories capture us by making us connect and care about flawed, lovable characters who are driven by a mission. We’ll discuss «The Hidden Selves and Secrets in Every Character,» «The Inner Battle Between Wants and Needs,» «The Magic of Wishes and Dreams,» and «The Power of Fear and Love» — all essential ways to connect you to great movies. You will learn the secrets to creating stories that are entertaining, thrilling, and deeply moving.
