 In the process of "finding the drama", the screenwriter's fears, prejudices and choices are continually being challenged and ‘shaped’ by the needs and actions of the CHARACTERS.

The screenwriter's response to these "beings" either promotes or aborts the elemental, dialogical relationships that are the basis of drama and a MEDIUMISTIC engagement with STORY.

To work as a medium, one must enter into a thoroughly interactive and shareable relationship with all the characters, including one's AUDIENCE, one's TRIBE, and the most problematic character of all, ONESELF.   

The mediumistic storyteller's fundamental insight is the realisation that DRAMATIC ACTION is neither mine nor theirs, but ours.  

SCRIPT TOOLS & TUTORIALS offers a broad range of resources, provocations, practical and unique strategies and points of view concerning the intuitive and ancient art of mediumistic storytelling.  If it’s a template you’re after, don’t look here. However, if what you seek is a way of being WITH your characters, and the encouragement to find and use your own compass for exploring and charting your personal hinterland and those as-yet-unseen, unheard, stories and story worlds that are lurking there, then this website might serve you well. Though its bias is cinematic storytelling for the big and small screen – both fictional and factional – the scope and ultimate application of the ideas contained herein transcends any particular form.
