"And today we are looking at how to escalate antagonism within the story. And we are looking at this the lens that we are looking at escalating antagonism is through a paradigm that Stu discovered in the ttrpg horror Mothership and that paradigm is called TOMBS: Transgression Omens Manifestation Banishment and Slumber and I’m really excited about this topic."

▶ More Info
In Part 3 (the final part? Ha!) of our exploration into ensemble stories, Stu, Chas & Mel examine films whose genres do not conventionally require a ton of characters or that use those ensembles in unconventional ways.

DZ-28: Containing Your Script
How do you keep contained movies engaging?
AI✦The episode uses contained thrillers as its anchor genre, examining how films locked to a single location maintain tension and engagement across scripts like LOCKE, EVERLY, and THE ONE I LOVE.✦
Listen if you're writing a contained thriller, drama, or any story limited to a single location
▶ More Info
Contained Thrillers* *seem to be a genre that never goes out of fashion. But being contained is not just limited to thrillers. It’s a way of telling stories on a lower budget, regardless of genre. So - while allegedly easier to make / get made - limiting a story to a single location also limits the tools that maintain an audience’s interest. Changing audience or character point of view, intercutting between locations or characters are all much harder (if not impossible) in contained films. So how do good contained films hook their audience and keep them… →

DZ-25: Coincidences, Contrivances & Giant Eagles
How do screenwriters get away with using coincidences in their stories?
AI✦When a writer needs coincidence to move the plot forward, they’re testing whether they’ve built enough trust with the audience to honor an implicit agreement about what kind of story this is.✦
Listen when you need to know which coincidences earn trust and which ones feel like cheating.

"From that point onwards, there’s a rhythm of this film. And what happens is the rhythm is Ron is busted by someone, be it the FDA or the IRS or Dr. Savard. So someone tries to shut him down. Within often two pages, Ron sorts this out. Like there was one point where they had their location shut down. A few pages later, Ron has a new location. There’s another point where Ron is broke, within a few pages, Rayon is lending him money. But what there is, is a rhythm to the act two."

DZ-1: Do Screenplay Gurus win you Oscars?
Do Oscar-Nominated screenwriters follow the structural formulas prescribed by the 'gurus' and books?

Three of the most widely read structure books in screenwriting — Snyder’s Save the Cat, Vogler’s The Writer’s Journey, and Michael Hauge’s Six Stages — all make essentially the same claim: this is how great films are built.
