“For 25 years I’ve been telling people about the Hero’s Journey because I felt it was a really useful tool for screenwriters and novelists, and that could help people as a metaphor for the little challenges we all face in life. But in the current crisis I’ve realized it was really made for drastic, world-shaking times like these. It’s our survival manual, preserved in myths and stories. I’m excited to share with you – in this free video – my re-evaluation of the Hero’s Journey and what it tells us about the remarkable ability of humans to adjust to times of rapid change.”
—Christopher Vogler
Originally an influential memo Vogler wrote for Walt Disney Animation executives regarding The Lion King, The Writer’s Journey details a twelve-stage, myth-inspired method that has galvanized Hollywood’s treatment of cinematic storytelling. A format that once seldom deviated beyond a traditional three-act blueprint, Vogler’s comprehensive theory of story structure and character development has met with universal acclaim, and is detailed herein using examples from myths, fairy tales, and classic movies. This book has changed the face of screenwriting worldwide over the last 25 years, and continues to do so.
