Writers seeking to create novels and screenplays with genuine
layers and depth will find essential insight in Mitchell German's
Your Storytelling Potential! After studying filmmaking and
screenwriting at NYU-one of the premier film studies programs in
the United States (if not the world)-Mitchell German graduated with
a complete doctrine on storytelling theory in his arsenal; yet his
screenplays still lacked the potency he desired. He spent ten years
studying every available book and "expert" on storytelling, but it
wasn't until 2002, after endlessly studying the movie Liar Liar,
that Mitchell found the key and developed the Your Storytelling
Potential Method. The truth about great storytelling is hidden in
plain view for anyone to see, but nearly every expert ignores the
most basic story construct. In Your Storytelling Potential, writers
who seek to tell great stories will find: A complete understanding
of the Identifiable Traits great novels and screenplays (namely
movies) have that distinguish them from the other 99.99% of books
and screenplays written every year How to use Two Stories within a
screenplay and novel, which exponentially increases the chances of
those stories gaining buzz and attention A proper understanding of
the critical and essential role of Subplots to create genuine
character depth and relationships How to properly integrate a Theme
for stories to convey deep, relevant, and amazing ideas An outline
for utilizing A/B Parallel Story Structure and the Simple Story
Timeline to build multi-dimensional stories with the required
converging events of the A-Story/B-Story relationship How the
premise of every great story is created by the convergence of the A
& B Storylines, and how this Key Information can unlock Your
Storytelling Potential
This is the inspiring true story of what happens when ordinary
people unite to make a stand against evil. Lidice was a peaceful
and vibrant community in Czechoslovakia with a rich mining
heritage. But an act of Nazi revenge saw this village wiped from
existence in a horrifying chapter of European history. Disaster
struck for Lidice in 1942 when the prominent Nazi official Reinhard
Heydrich was assassinated. Described by Hitler as "the man with an
iron heart", Heydrich was one of the key architects of the
Holocaust. His death, after an attack by members of the Czech
resistance, left Hitler furious and desperate for vengeance.
Looking for a scapegoat to blame for Heydrich's death, he settled
on the village of Lidice, which had been falsely linked to the
assassination. In a brutal act which shocked the world, Lidice was
completely destroyed. The men were shot while the women and
children were rounded up and sent to their deaths in Nazi
concentration camps. Hitler was determined that by the time he had
finished, no one would even remember Lidice, let alone live there.
What he hadn't reckoned on was the efforts of a group of
campaigners in Britain, who resolved to make sure Lidice would
never be forgotten. A Ray of Light tells the tale of Lidice's
downfall and what happened next. Would the village simply be
allowed to become a footnote in history, or would it rise from the
ashes and forge a new future? This book is a compelling testament
to the power of friendship and solidarity, and how empathy and
compassion can help rebuild the world.
