Subject matter that is not bound to reality offers more opportunity to write a unique story and cinematically present it in very unique ways.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are some subjects that can only be tackled in fiction.
You set up a story and it turns inside out and that is, for me, the most exciting sort of story to write. The viewer thinks it's going to be about something and it does the opposite.
I have realised just how important it is to readers to feel that fictional stories are based on reality.
There's a problem with narratives. Most that spring to mind are fictional.
Stories and narratives are one of the most powerful things in humanity. They're devices for dealing with the chaotic danger of existence.
If your attention is on superfluous aspects that are not part of the story, then you can't be concentrating on the human realities of the piece.
Reality always outstrips fiction. Whatever you make up, something more incredible always pops up in real life.
I just want fiction to remain a vital force for entertainment and not just for contemplation. Both things can exist.
I believe that the story is the most important element of any medium whether it's theater, film, TV.
The telling of stories creates the real world.
