The Burning Boat Show

In this new-format episode of the Burning Boat Show, we talk to Yes Theory’s Ammar Kandil about his short film in collaboration with Google, ‘Free Child’.

This week’s episode is a particularly exciting one (as they all are, of course) where we discuss a completely new approach to podcasting and social media as a whole. We hope you enjoy the episode and would love to hear your thoughts on the idea of a new kind of podcast!

This week’s episode is a rather sad one as Mads and Taylor say goodbye to their good pal and social media manager, Robin. Just kidding; the episode is actually Robin’s official welcome into the Burning Boat Boy family!

Last week the bad boys of Burning Boat watched Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet’ (2020), twice, and gosh darn was it an experience! This week’s episode is therefore dedicated in its entirety to our thoughts on the film, some of which may be seen as SPOILERS so if you’re looking for a spoiler-free review, only listen until 20:30. Enjoy!

As promised, here’s part two of our ‘story’ breakdown which happens to be just as juicy as the first one! Mads and Taylor discuss the difficulties a lot of beginner screenwriters face when writing a script. They talk about the importance of momentum and the benefit of writing in reverse. They get into Blake Snyder’s 15-points of story structure and a number of other useful theories to consider when working on a screenplay. They also reference lots of great films to which these story elements apply; this one’s great for anyone wanting to up their screenwriting game!
