Episode 448: Robert McKee
Robert McKee is an author and screenwriting lecturer. His new book is\xa0Character: The Art of Role and Cast Design for Page, Stage, and Screen.\u201dWhen I'm in conversation with others, I'm always aware\u2014or sensitive, at least\u2014to what they're really thinking and feeling. And writers must have that. They can't possibly create excellent nonfiction or fiction if they're not aware of what is going on inside of other people, really, even subconsciously, while they go about saying whatever they do consciously in the world. Because if you just recorded the surface, if you were just paying attention to the surface, you'd be missing the whole show.\u201d\n\nThanks to\xa0Mailchimp\xa0for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\n@McKeeStory\nmckeestory.com\nStory: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting\xa0(Regan Books \u2022 1997)\nCharacter: The Art of Role and Cast Design for Page, Stage, and Screen\xa0(Twelve \u2022 2021)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
