Theme. I've done several script and book-to-screen consultations the past few weeks and find myself encouraging writers to really hone in on their theme to help guide them in the narrative story line. How about you? is theme easy for you to nail down or difficult?

Expand commentAll my stories, regardless of genre or medium, start with a fundamental question about the human condition, the theme. Every aspect of the story - plot, characters, etc. - either reflects that question or answers it (positive or negative). Without a preachy word!

I find this approach gives the story a subtle cohesion that really makes it a joy to write (and hopefully to read/film)!

Love this trailer and the concept is funny. I can see this. Can't wait to put together a trailer, shoot, can't wait to put together a sizzle reel.
