In the best material, you always should be able to somehow make a case for a story to be transposed to any other time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any radical change or trauma always makes for interesting subject matter, but then all stories deal, to some extent, with the disjuncture between past and present.
Subject matter that is not bound to reality offers more opportunity to write a unique story and cinematically present it in very unique ways.
I think that emotion and good stories can cross the times.
Stories are different every time you tell them - they allow so many possible narratives.
The stories I write are often literal to events that have happened or observations that I've made, and sometimes they're fantastical.
A book becomes something else once it's dramatized.
Stories and narratives are one of the most powerful things in humanity. They're devices for dealing with the chaotic danger of existence.
If you like a story that's totally different and won't know which way it's going... where it's go ing to end up and which way it's going to take you, then I think my work fits the bill.
If somebody is in a story, they need to be there for a reason, and not just to set up somebody else's story.
I prefer to bring these to the service of story rather than to let them replace narrative.
