Robert Mckee on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos

If you ever had dreams of writing a Hollywood screenplay, you won't want to miss this interview with Robert McKee. McKee is Hollywood's go-to guy for scripts. He teaches a class for aspiring writers, he helps the studios with scripts in production, and occasionally he rescues scripts that have gone terribly wrong. He's also known for humiliating his students with his infamous outburts. For more information about Robert McKee, check his website. Also McKee will be in Vancouver on November 2, 3, 4 to offer a seminar.

Good Lord, what I wouldn't give for someone to put his entire seminar on youtube, lol. Wishfull thinking. Or...what if someon had a websight totally dedicated to Robert Mckee's seminars and class...I'd pay a couple a bucks a month for membership to that site.

I agree with this statement. Having missed his Canadian seminars twice last year, and lacking the necessary fundages for a plane ticket out to L.A./New York, I'd definitely pay a monthly for such a website. Wouldn't even hesitate. Screenwriting tips are a time a dozen online, yet they can be quite misleading. I trust McKee's advice and his wisdom could sure help a lot of us folks on the interwebz!

Robert Mckee is a God-send!!! Every writer should read "Story". It will seriously save your butt :O)

Hey, check out the wesbsite Storylogue, it's a bit expensive, but I'm considering signing up.

Thanks for sharing this! What a great way to learn more from McKee!

Stumble around in the dark for years (maybe more) or pay $50 a month... I'd rather pay the $50.

(Plus it's expensive to run a site like Storylogue...)

I'm sure anyone who's read "Story" would agree that he deserves to be paid well for what he teaches.

For anyone who can't afford the site membership the book is only $20 in hardback, right?

Thanks again for sharing the site name... you rock!

@demboys18 That website's up now! It's called Storylogue. It's about $50 a month tho!

@demboys18 from what I've heard the seminar contains pretty much the same stuff that the book has. I guess he would write a sequel if he had lots of additional goodies. But this is just what I've heard so don't trust this opinion too much :)

@demboys18

I agree.

A good teacher is not someone with credits and status. A good teacher is someone who teaches you wise things and makes sense
