James Bonnet’s Storymaking in Nans Sous Sainte Anne, France
James Bonnet
Description
Imagine immersing yourself in your story or script at a writing and storymaking seminar and a workshop and retreat in a beautiful tranquil village that was once watched over by the Celtic and Roman gods.
Whether you are a professional or novice writer or filmmaker, this intensive state-of-the-art story seminar by the author of Stealing Fire From the Gods will take you beyond Classical Story Structure, The Hero’s Journey, conflict and turning points to a more complete understanding of the fundamentals you need to create your own significant and successful stories and story films.
This revised and expanded seminar, includes important new revelations concerning the ultimate source of unity, the structures of the whole story passage, the anti-hero’s journey, the high concept great idea, the creative unconscious, the creative process, and the secrets of charismatic characters. After a review of basic concepts and important story patterns, James Bonnet will guide you through a step by step journey from the fascination to the final draft, including a thorough analysis of many of today’s most powerful and successful stories and films.
Each morning everyone will gather at A L’Ombre du Chateau for a continental breakfast and then participate in a workshop in which James Bonnet will guide you to a deeper understanding of story and the principles and patterns that drive all great stories and films - including imitations of real life, the creative unconscious self, the light and dark sides of the passage, metaphor, genre, the entertainment dimensions, great dialogue and the creation of unforgettable characters.
After the midday break, you will work on your own project in an idyllic setting, during which time Bonnet will work one-on-one with each of the participants.
At the end of the day, everyone will gather together again to communally discuss the individual progress being made.
To help maximize the experience, students will be invited to submit the project or a summary of the idea they plan to work on, so that Bonnet can incorporate the necessary special guidance in his teaching and mentoring.
Space is limited, so don’t delay in signing up for this once a year opportunity.
About James Bonnet:
For the last twenty years, James Bonnet, writer, teacher and story consultant, has been the director of Astoria Filmwrights, a research project studying all the significant story models and theories about story from around the world and their connection to the creative process, storymaking, psychology, myth and film. The culmination of this work is the breakthrough “unified” theory of the origin and nature of story and a revolutionary new story model that can be used by writers and filmmakers to create more successful stories.
The book he has written on these findings, Stealing Fire from the Gods: A Dynamic New Story Model For Writers And Filmmakers, was published by Michael Wiese in 1999. A second edition, Stealing Fire from the Gods: The Complete Guide to Story For Writers And Filmmakers, was published in July of 2006. Since 1990 he has been giving intensive weekend seminars, Storymaking: The Master Class, to screenwriters, producers, directors, psychologists and mythologists. The radical new ideas about story revealed in his book and his seminars are having a major impact on writers in all media.
He has written or acted in more than forty television shows and features. He was elected twice to the Board of Directors of the Writer's Guild of America (a ten thousand member union) and served four years in that capacity.
