William Parsons –
Vogler and Hauge’s lecture style is engaging, and I love how both these guys, especially Hauge, illustrate their points with copious examples from movies. I’ve learned so much from these four-and-a-half hours, I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to these two. The exhaustive analysis of Erin Brockovich was of particular use—that brought home all the points they made about the inner and outer journeys. I used Hero’s 2 Journeys as the launchpad for a Screenwriting Club I created and mentored at a high school where I recently taught. It was a rousing success—it engaged the students and opened their eyes to the true depth and breadth of storytelling in its grandest potential.
