SWRT 289 | Scripting Didactic with Screenwriter Tim Auld
Story Works Round Table writing podcast
This week, Alida and Kathryn welcome screenwriter Tim Auld to the Round Table to discuss didacticism in today’s screenwriting and fiction generally.
Dive into the intricacies of storytelling with Tim Auld, a writer-director with a passion for creating action films that his wife and daughter will watch over and over. In this episode, Tim dissects the concept of didacticism in film and television, exploring how messages can overpower the art of storytelling. Join us as we unravel the delicate balance between imparting wisdom and crafting compelling narratives that captivate without preaching.
"If you have something to say, you need to construct your narrative in a way that makes your audience feel what you're trying to say, not sit back and listen to your lecture."
"Films are visual poems about life. They're about the human experience."
