“A culture cannot evolve without honest, powerful storytelling. When society repeatedly experiences glossy, hollowed-out, pseudo-stories, it degenerates. We need true satires and tragedies, dramas and comedies that shine a clean light into the dingy corners of the human psyche and society. If not, as Yeats warned, ‘the centre cannot hold.’”

Robert McKee Seminars
In this three-day ‘rite of passage’ seminar, Robert McKee teaches the substance, structure, style, and principles of story. Past students include Peter Jackson, Russell Brand, Jimmy Fallon, Julia Roberts, Geoffrey Rush, Kirk Douglas, David Bowie, Meg Ryan, John Cleese, and many more.
All writers are genre writers. The writer’s first task is to identify the genre, or combination of genres that will inspire his or her creativity. The second is to master its possibilities. The third task is to satisfy its audience’s expectations while you take them into unanticipated pleasures.
After successfully aiding organizations as diverse as Microsoft, Nike, and Siemens in their development of evolving narrative game plans, Robert McKee now brings this knowledge to business leaders and entrepreneurs alike in his new book.
