How do Stories Work?
There are millions of aspiring writers. Only a few do the right things to make the story perfect and land that deal.
Welcome to the most advanced understanding of how stories work available anywhere on the planet today
This is not a formula or template, this is a contemporary, proven set of story principles that apply to EVERY story, ever made. Including yours. So you might as well understand them, right?! Principles that WILL improve the stories that come from your natural talent. I guarantee it.
Marc Zammit: Writer/Producer/Director"David Baboulene is a genius!"
The story is fundamental to everything. Obvious, right?!
And yet, the first thing writers get wrong is not completing their story to a full, professional standard.
Your natural talent must always lead the way, but if you want to sell your story, and get success, there's a lot to do above and beyond what your heart gives you.
"David is The Story Ninja!"Nick Wild: Writer/Producer/Director
Producers and Directors
You career is defined by the stories you choose, and how well they are delivered.
How many films have you watched and thought: "Well, that should be 20 minutes shorter. Why did they DO that?! It cost a fortune and actually detracted from the audience experience!"
Well, they did it because nobody on the team understood where the power in the story lies. Nobody knew how to identify the power, and how to optimise the story to ensure everything is feeding into that power.
Learn the fundamentals of story theory, and you will start picking - and delivering - winners. Every time. Because you'll be making (and defending!) your decisions with actual, solid knowledge.
"David is The New Aristotle."Craig Hinde: Writer/Producer/Director
Become a story consultant
You know what we have without a story?
Absolutely nothing! Nobody even has a job.
And yet the story is generally undervalued and rarely fully understood.
EVERYBODY in any story industry can benefit from learning the fundamentals of story theory, and every project can benefit from a story expert.
Be the story person. You'll go far.
The rewards are extraordinary for people who are in story industries and actually understand stories.
