I don’t need an advert to encourage me to buy chocolate.
I love the stuff.
I post this as an example (and a reminder to myself)
of really good storytelling.
It’s only a minute long.
It pokes at your curiosity
and pulls at your heart strings.
Sometimes,
I like to play
with lyrics,
while maintaining
the melody.
…
‘Rusted laptop lying by the grass
Stories lining, in the seams.
Timeless styling, reference love between,
Cherished moments and what they mean.’
…
Which song
have I
played with?
Play the Answer. (Diana Krall’s version)
Not just for Motor Rollers.
My friend Anup asked me for a film recommendation.
“Ford vs Ferrari,” I said.
So,
if you’re looking for a film recommendation,
you don’t have to.
That’s all folks.
Cue the music.
ps.
If you’re thinking
“Wait a sec, isn’t that film called something else?!”
You’d be right.
Depending on which country you’re in,
it’s also called Le Mans 66.
pps.

Watch the Trailer
“Have you noticed?”
The reflections in storylines.
There’s a point,
when your minds wide open,
to the world around you,
and patterns appear.
Especially when the things
you’ve been studying,
keep appearing.
As if they’re asking the question.
Ever since I started researching story structure – Joseph Campbell, Christopher Vogler, Dan Harmon etc etc – there’s a beautifully simple sense of joy when I notice elements of the structure play out in a film I’m watching, or a book I’m reading.
Knowing the structure of something,
recognising elements of detail,
allows you to appreciate a product
a little more.
Noticing the reflection
of the beginning,
in the ending,
brings a smile.
As if they’re asking the question.
