Robert McKee — Worth Watching

Now this is NOT one of the gurus I was alluding to in the previous post… I like Robert McKee. Some of you think I don’t like him but I do and you can’t argue how much he fucking knows about STORY. My only problem was reading his book and then plopping down FIVE BIG ONES only to find out that I was listening to him RECITE his book.

I just wish I hadn’t just read his book before that weekend… Which is strange to me because if I remember correctly, I seem to remember getting an email from his company recommending that I do in fact read the book prior to attending the workshop.

Is he worth seeing in person?

Oh HELL yeah. I would have rather been surprised is all. The good new is that if you can’t afford to attend, purchase his audio book because that is pretty much the workshop except for the laughs and the cell phone donations.

This video is a little over an hour long but an hour well spent if you need a nice little brush up…
