About this listen

Every writer learns the basics elements of storytelling. Whether it’s The Heroes Journey, the Three Act film structure, or even the performing of a magic trick it’s all there.

Even when telling a simple joke.

Using these three basic elements, screenwriter Javier Grillo-Marxuach (Lost, The Witcher, Medium) breaks down the anatomy used for so many of the stories we love, from Raiders of the Lost Ark, to Gone With the Wind.

Javi shares why it works, how far into writing’s atomic structure it can take us, and why three truly is a magic number.
