151 | Rethinking Screenplay Structure w/ The Nutshell Technique (ft. Jill Chamberlain)

from The Screenwriting Life with Meg LeFauve and Lorien McKenna · host Meg LeFauve & Lorien McKenna

Though it can sometimes feel like a prison, screenplay structure is actually a very freeing element of the story process. Jill Chamberlain, a veteran script consultant, is obsessive about structure, to the point where she has created a popular technique to re-consider how we approach our work. On her technique, producer Callum Greene (Star Wars Episode 9) offers “the Nutshell Technique is like the Rosetta Stone: it cracks the code behind why we love the movies that we love. It goes way beyond tired old beat sheet ‘formulas’ and instead guides you to organically write the story you want to tell.” FOR MORE ON JILL (& FREE NUTSHELL WORKSHEETS): https://www.jillchamberlain.com TO JOIN OUR PATREON: www.patreon.com/thescreenwritinglife Learn more about your ad choices.
