You will likely never see this but I’ll write it anyway. I’m from Zimbabwe and I’ve have worked with a number of writers in Germany and South Africa, many of whom would regularly reference or use your videos and work when writing or revising their stories and scripts. And so wherever your journey takes you, just remember that the value you’ve added to people is real and immense. You don’t know then and you won’t meet them, but there are there… we are here. Good luck Tyler
yo my guy i'm from Zim too. i'd like to know hows been your journey so far? i'm trying to break out. Tyler is the one who got me started on this writing Journey.
I am from Egypt, and I have benefited from you very much in the field of screenwriting, so I wish you all the best, and that you are in the best condition, my friend.
Just wanted to say that I have applied your teachings on Philosophical Conflict in my characters and scripts and as a result have won two consecutive screenwriting awards at my university. Thanks!
BIG character arc! Realisation can be extraordinarily difficult and heartbreaking but absolutely worth walking through the fire for. All of the great work you do in order to support other writers to become better writers continues... Listening to your story gives us great insight and hope. Tyler I am soo pleased for you - you are free!
You need to be here. We need you. We can learn a lot from your journey. And the world needs stories outside Hollywood. Stories that bring a positive change. Stories that not only entertain but also show the truth of life, give hope, and inspire to be a better person. Stay and help us write those stories, please. I've learnt a lot from you. English is not my first language, but I can still use your advice.
Very good speech, unfiltered! Glad you spoke your truth about Hollywood regardless of the repercussions to your brand. Keep breaking the mould with storytelling.
Hello, i am from Indonesia - Jakarta. First time learn screenplay writing, your channel was very helpfull. I always listening to your channel again and again when i am in the middle of going somewhere or write it down when i am on my desk. Thanks a lot Tyler, you inspired me a lot.
Tyler, great job on the positive change arc on your conflict between Hollywood Vs Internet! Hope you keep having more positive change arcs and even hopefully a flat arc someday! Also, it’s fine that you haven’t posted in a while, it’s ultimately your decision and your personal life and health that you should focus on first. (Love the optimism and stoicism btw)
Hey Tyler, I just wanted to say thank you so much for being honest about yourself and your journey. I will say, that we hadn't always seen eye to eye, but the fact you have grown this much and been honest with yourself and your audience to level, has given me a lot of respect for you for putting this out there. And yes, I'm a writer too and started out at a young age, so I really relate to your experience.
What do you mean by "and not a have a job" we are your job, teaching rookies how to write. I'm going through something similar over on my side of the world 🇯🇲. I know it's necessary. Sometimes, feels like a hill on your back being so young (18). Be safe and keep doing what you're doing. Life feels a bit lighter knowing you're not the only one on this journey.
I felt every word you said so deeply. Only those of us who have gone through what you are describing know how it feels. It’s so uncomfortable yet liberating. It’s like a new way of seeing something and once you get there it’s impossible to unsee. You finally become aware of the malicious software running your unconscious mind and you are able to detach and find solace and peace in the present moment because you realise you were whole all along. It doesn’t mean that you abandon your goals but it means a reframing of those goals to best align to what truly matters to you. As creatives we tend to have a desire to prove ourselves to others to such extend that we lose touch with why we do what we do in the first place. Our urges to be seen and validated are so heightened by these feelings of insecurity (specially financially) that desperation replaces passion. We create our ego in these fantasies where we feel we’ve arrive to the gold land, not knowing the ego is what’s keeping us unsatisfied. It’s important that we design our life to our liking and our own idea of success, so that we don’t climb the wrong ladder of success. The industry preys on that feeling of inadequacy and insecurity. It’s normal to go through what you’re going through, so many of us have been there or will be there. I’m sure you will come out this season with a greater understanding of yourself and more assurance of the steps you’re taking towards the life you want. Thank you for making me feel seen.
I’ve been following your channel for probably years and your content has really helped me craft my story in my comics. I just wanted to say I’ve appreciate your work, it’s some of the top stuff on the internet! I look forward to your coming videos.
"Love is that which enables choice. Love is always stronger than fear. Always choose on the basis of love." Don't get caught up in trying to optimize for good vs bad.
I honestly did not expect this to be as moving and powerful as it was. This feels so extremely positive and awake. I hope this begins a shift wider within our professional community and beyond. As we say in Aotearoa, keep up the good mahi.
Before the algorithm showed me your channel, storytelling was a craft that really escaped me. I could appreciate a good story but the mechanics were a total mystery. Like a light in the dark, your lessons have illuminated its mysteries so that I could see. Everytime you upload, I think to myself, "nice! A new tyler video, can't wait to watch it!" Because I know its going to be good. I know its going to teach me something I didn't know before. Your honesty is authentic, your willingness to be vulnerable and teach others is authentic. There are some other good channels out there on youtube if you wanted to know more about writing but when it comes down to it, I would rather watch a Tyler Mowery video and feel like I walked away with some real value. So I just want to thank you for sharing your insights with us, sharing your story, and showing us the mechanics behind the magic of storytelling. I know the path of life can be dark and foggy, and it can cause you to doubt the steps you took. You may not end up where you thought you wanted to be when you started, but thats what life is. I just want you to know that no matter where your path ends, know that it was not fruitless. Some of the steps you took helped show others the way.
I hear the shift happening, even as the end is unclear. Take courage! I hope to see what you make, and I hope you always make not out guilt or fear, but out of love. I've been helped recently by some of your storytelling breakdown videos to begin an important project of mine, and doing so catalyzed many changes that had ripened, so thank you.
Oh goodness, I feel for you Tyler! It's hard to go through an ego death this major. I'm going through one myself having moved to a different country on my own that I thought would make me happy and failing miserably. Wherever you go, there you are. The key is truly to feel whole inside like you said. Wishing you all the best!
I'm very happy you've been on a journey that's taken you to a better place spiritually. I appreciate that you're sharing this with us. Over the past year or so, I've myself been undergoing a realization that because of Hollywood's "storytelling values", the story I've been working on for such a long time may never be shared with the world the way I wanted to. That was heart-shattering for me. My project is a four-part fantasy story with many philosophical and spiritual themes at its core, which I don't think mainstream Hollywood would be able to appreciate. So as of now, I am working on finishing up the first script in the series and adapting it into a digital picture book with text on screen and background music, AKA a visual novel. I still feel sad that my story may not reach as many people as I wanted to, but I do believe I have what it takes to execute it well in this other medium 🥰
Tyler. Thanks for sharing. Same thing happened to me. In order to make sense of the transition, it really helped me look into Jung's concept of Individuation, or becoming whole. James Hollis also wrote about this transition in great lengths.
I’ve gone through some life changes like this in my own life. So much so that I’ve found I don’t want to do anything because I’m content. Even so I went to Austin for comedy recently and discovered myself to knew depths. Like you’re saying, I discovered it was a world I had no desire to be a part of. I have much more respect for you for choosing the path of being real than if you were a “successful” Hollywood phony.
You've been one of my biggest sources of knowledge and understanding when it comes to stories. Now I want you to know that you should not feel guilty if you haven't been that active on this platform. The love that you have for the people around you and yourself , that matters so much more to your audience than tons of videos. From my perspective, the hardest part of all of this is accepting, especially recognizing. You have achieved it. I know that no matter how much you tell yourself you're doing better, you would still feel bad or guilty or as if you haven't done enough (speaking from personal experience). I don't have that same exact experience as you, I can't say I do, and it's different (what you're going through) but try to forgive yourself. Try to accept what you have done or what you have not done. It may sound unthinkable because it's too painful. Because it may sound selfish right now. However, try doing it. Just advice. That's what I wanted to say. Thank you for being such a great teacher in storytelling and simply a good person.
Tyler thank you for making this video. The working conditions of writers in hollywood is a reality and its a real tragedy to be in a position where one feels they must sell their soul and physical wellbeing just for a shot to make it. I think you are right that we have the power to make our own stories so long as we practice our craft. In this society that is mired in malaise and that so often prioritizes fracturing over connection (with people, with the ecosystem, overcoming narrow-mindedness etc) I feel its going to be an inportant time for storytellers to shift the culture in a direction that confronts the realities were we face annihilation and ego death and come out on the other side with love and meaning. These stories are gonna be important guidelines for how we may want to navigate the decay of institutions and other challenges.
Please continue to share more. Expose the corruption within the failing system that is Hollywood. Keep inspiring people. This video reached me on a deep level. Thank you Tyler
You are always an inspiration, a beam of light. Despite what you said, I have never seen you give less than all you could, high or low, always from the heart. Your radiance is unmistakable, in your work and in your life.
You are my idol I learned like everything about screenwriting from you and your channel and i even have notes of what you taught in your videos😅. I have made a whole book about what you taught in your videos. Keep it up Sir👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us, Tyler! Honestly, I got a little teary eyed watching because I want to move back with my parents in Georgia while I'm still in film school. I live in southern California.
Man so glad I found your channel. Love the exploration and desire to grow. Sounds like your skill acquisition and growth isolated you from people who are seeking the fame and fortune of it all. Appreciate your candor on this. God is calling you to use your gifting to tell the stories He has for you.
I had my own death of the ego too, i think. But it was very long. First of all, i had a horrible experience during a short film in college. I had a lot of ambition and ego before that; a lot of energy and will to seek my goal. But after that, i was internally destroyed. I didn't have ambition, i didn't like myself, and i temporarily left my goal. Over time, i started to recover my self-esteem and my goal, and it gave me a lot of frustration, because it now was a DELAYED goal. It was the most depressive time in my life. But i kind of had to advance into it, externally, to realize that i shouldn't suffer it; i should be enjoying this journey. And now, after years, i would say, i'm not the most balanced person i know, but i am the most balanced i've been in a long time. A mid point between the super-ambitious goal, and having no ambition at all. I didn't remember this partial feeling of being at peace, that i now feel. A big part of it was just understanding that i'm different to most people, and that most people won't accept it. That i should stop looking for the acceptance of everyone else, and i should, first of all, accept myself. That is a work in progress. Certainly, your work has done a lot for me and a lot of people, Tyler. You showed us, through your own experience, that stories are more real than what we think, and ultimately, the understanding of stories is a lot similar to our understanding of life.
You've been watching Clark Kegley's videos, haven't you? 😆 Good stuff! Best of luck on your ongoing journey, Tyler. So much of your writing advice has been greatly valuable for me, and I hope the best for you.
Hola, soy de chile , wow llore como 2 veces al verlo 😢😢 y me alegra el recorrido que has echo porque personalmente también me paso algo parecido y me cambio 180 grados la vision que tenia de mi mismo y de lo que era, pensaba que ya estaba lo suficientemente consciente de las cosas que hacia bien o mal, solo para darme cuenta que estuve equivocado y sesgado todo este tiempo. En ese proceso me tope con las teorias de carl jung y creo que fue en el momento ideal ya que bien dice: "lo que resistes persiste, lo que niegas te somoete, lo que aceptas te transforma". Y finalmente creo que esa es la clave en todo rste proceso, eliminar las barreras que separan nuestra inconsciente de nuestra parte consciente, porque tampoco significa negar nuestros sentimientos sino de llegar a un equilibrio entre esas dos partes, esa experiencia me ha ayudado a entenderme mejor y debido a eso estoy pensando en hacer por primera vez mi propio cortometraje con las cosas que tengo a la mano, y tu canal me ha ayudado mucho a aprender sobre el proceso de escritura y me ha inspirado a poder concentrar mi experiencia en algo tan transformador y maravilloso como lo es la escritura, espero con ansias todos tus proximos videos, un saludo y buen viaje.😁😁✌🏻✌🏻
Thank you so much Tyler for this... The best lemonade you can make out of this, is if you wrote a script that can be made to a film about your journey in Hollywood, and how you make it out of the system, being a successful internet writer... It can make a good film... Cheers, and all the best in your endeavors...
I will never set foot in California; let alone Hollywood. And I'm glad you didn't drink the Kool-Aid and got sucked into their bullshit. Moving out of there was most definitely the best thing you could've done. And it's because of your bravery and choosing to hold on to your ideals, you've elevated yourself from a great UA-camr to an honest-to-God great UA-camr (in my eyes, anyway).
Dear Tyler, Look at the numbers and look at what you have done, you may not have a full grasp of how much influence you have on the world, an I am pretty sure the comments would give you a hint , I am from Nigeria and I can tell for sure there's so much Love from me and those following you... Thank you so much for the influence and knowledge and cant wait to hear from you and work with you in the near future
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”” Matthew 11:28-30 ESV 😀
Tyler Mowery, you son of a Son. It's beautiful to see where you are in your journey. This is proof that you have skin in the game; the story of Story is rewriting your story. Many artists go from birth to death without letting that happen. I'm curious to hear who some of your great guides have been on this adventure. Some of my great guides: Christ, Buddha, Thich Nhat Hahn, Jonathan Pageau, John Vervaeke, Truby, Dostoevsky, Peterson...
@@TylerMowery Thanks for sharing. I strongly encourage you to go on a deep story engineering dive into Christianity and work out how it works on a technical level. I've been doing this for 2 years and it's astounded me. Use your best Tyler tools: competing viewpoints, set pieces, motifs, 4 corner opposition, story circles (and how they fractal), etc. And if you ever want an ally with this... Wishing you well 🙏
I think great craftsmen can serve themselves and people in general, but great artists only ever serve the art. Maybe this is you moving from being a craftsman to being an artist. They serve antithetical ends. When the artist engages in the action of art, the artist works to be as no one. The artist is the sieve of art. I’ve done a couple videos addressing the nature of art, maybe they’ll help. Either way, if you’re always honest and upfront about who you are, as long as you’re always truthful about that, Love finds you and remains. I agree that we are in a “universe of love” but its opposite also exists. And evil people don’t exist - only evil ideologies exist. The artist’s singular burden/duty is to make manifest our ethereal truths in this material reality. That’s it. But if you want to know the trick of how to exist as an artist while releasing yourself from ego (when engaged in the action of art) it’s understanding that the artist cannot know why we are burden with what we’re burdened with. You write a script, produce a film, show the film, et al. The artist cannot know why. This is the fundamental difference between the craftsman and the artist. The craftsman works to influence, persuade and otherwise alter the world to the outcomes of their own personal sociopolitical positions - even if that persuasion is in pursuit of helping mankind. The artist operates antithetical to this. Certainly, maybe that book does indeed exist to influence some 8 year old kid to see the world through a different lens. It may also exist simply to be a discarded lump on a sidewalk that 27 years from now someone trips over. In the end, most craftsmen are not artists and a good number of artists are not craftsmen. Neither is more or less moral, and importance is entirely subjective insofar as anyone can contend. I think you’re doing a lot of good work. Just don’t let yourself get swallowed up by conspiracies and sociopolitical nonsense. And never forget that facts and truths are opposites. The job of the craftsman is to deal in facts, the artist deals in truths.
Good thoughts here, but those “conspiracies and sociopolitical nonsense” is anything but nonsense. The veil is lifting, friend. Stay aware and follow Truth no matter how much it attacks your ego.
@@TylerMowery Again, you seem to conflating truth with fact. Your rebuttal here is that there is something factual that proves whatever conspiracy may or may not exist. I didn’t even allude to any specific conspiracy, but rather just noted that your language had that air about it with regards to Hollywood. No one is confused about how deals get done in Hollywood; no one’s confused about the prevailing ideology; no one’s confused about the rampant exchange of sex for favors in Hollywood, and that yes, just like every industry, there are predators. But I don’t think there needs to be some kind of ideological crusade here. It’s like you’re exchanging one crusade for another. And that definitely is not the death of ego. The only thing that matters is - do you have a story to tell? If you do, go tell it. There’s no need for anything other than that; no other motivation than that. Just tell whatever story you have to tell.
It takes a lot of guts to be so vulnerable on UA-cam. Well done. Some of your observations are very good, we do live in a world of love. But we are not whole. That is why we develop. The character arc is the journey forward. Not static. Buddhism may say you have it all in yourself. But Christianity says you have it all in God, and he is extending it to those he loves. I don't mean to command your views here. I hope that I am humbly adding to the dialogue. You are a sharp and thoughtful guy and if you keep searching you will find the truth. I pray blessings upon you.
Tremendous video my brother, you have a lot of courage for this. You speak on suffering and guilt so I wish to offer you a small lesson that was given to me: Our Lord Jesus Christ came not to free us from suffering but to transform suffering into the currency of redemption. ✝🙏 God bless you and feel free to reach out to me if you wish to speak on anything including ego!
The box office is failing. Hollywood has lost their way of connecting to an audience. They use way too many IPs and do not respect the source material. They were unable to recreate new stars for the next generation. The ratings for the award shows have failed. Movie theaters are expensive for the customer. You don’t have to live in Hollywood to make a movie anymore. We have crowding funding sites to help fund your project. I hope a crowd-funding movie beats a Hollywood movie at the box office. Once it happens, it will change our industry as we know it. The people will leave LA in droves.
2:49 i assumed my familly was gaslighting me again/failing,and they were playing the star treck noise with their phones, but a bird is saying the same thing like 20 times in the video,who do they want to talk to?...
Tyler, I understand your primary goal was writing screenplays and making your feature film. However, I think you've limited your options significantly. Your talent, intelligence and professional skills can be successfully applied in fiction, theater, short films, audio plays, and graphic novels. Personally, I, for example, watch your videos in hopes of writing a video game script. You would even more enrich the gaming industry with your knowledge and ideas. Thank you for the inspiration. You courageously shared with us the bitterness of disappointment in your past aspirations, the evolution of your personal spiritual path and plans for the near future. Life is unpredictable. There may be an opportunity in the years to come to collaborate with someone in Hollywood who will share your vision and find the right form of expression for your stories. Keep rocking!
1:27 dead space?/related?..., is this going to be dark?..., useally,if something is like a tv show/movie/game,it useally means they live in a dystopia and everything is bad. my life is like a story.
I think your screenwriting youtube channel is one of the best out there man. It's scary being on a broken raft in the middle of a turbulent and foggy ocean. Survive............ Survive and make it to the beach.
How incredibly reflective, sincere, and humble. Welcome back home🏡... now the master of both worlds, so to speak💖 Thank you, Tyler, for this honest insight that is STILL teaching us. I think you're awesome, and your adventure to Hollywood and back would make a pretty good movie 😘
This video is exactly what people need to hear. I’m in an industry that is heavily ego driven and I’ve had a tough time dealing with that world since covid. I hope more of us get connected with what’s truly important: community, healing, expressing love to others and ourselves. It’s disappointing when you have a talent and want to be included in something that you think is great and extraordinary; and then the curtain is drawn and that world looks completely different. I’m glad you didn’t sell your soul. You’re on the right journey. 🙏🏽❤️⭐️
Thanks for being brave to share it and now take all this new clarity to grow and find new paths. I from Spain but I lived in Los Angeles for 5 years developing my first feature film. For family reasons I had to move back to Spain and I realized that there is where I really wanted to be. Just then, I was able to create my production company, raise the money and make my first feature film which I premiered this year at Miami’s Film Festival. Long story short: we all pass through several character journeys in our lives which lead us to growth, learn and hopefully be better persons. Cheers from Spain.
“Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”” John 4:13-14 NLT
I believe this video will do more for people than you can ever imagine. I really loved connecting with what you said - the lessons learned. There are so many good things here but what struck me the most was the pauses, the SILENCE WAS SO LOUD - quite beautiful. There's so much in silence, I personally love it in film and motion-picture. You are speaking many truths. Thank you for all you do, Tyler - you are on a great path, I look forward to more of you, and your desire to birth another level of storytelling. BELIEVE.
You are great teacher Tyler, but even a good teachers need to continue an internal growth. I am 50 year old and still restructuring myself toward my goals.
Thank you for providing us with your valuable lessons of life. The more i've learned about storytelling in recent years (especially by watching your amazing videos), the more i've realised that it's all about yourself, not about characters, settings and arcs that you want people to see. I live in a third world country, a place where almost all people are struggling and suffering everyday. People don't follow their passions here, they just have two ways ahead of them, either get rich and successful here, or immigrate to find a better life elsewhere. I always saw how hard people failed and how their whole lives were based on just making it out and getting rich. Yet was one of them, i always wanted to immigrate to LA and work as a writer on my TV show in there. To have a good life where i can pursue my dreams and be someone important. Now it just seems impossible, first because of how difficult and expensive it is to immigrate to US (because they have sanctioned the shit out of our economy and we're always in tension with US), and second how hard it is to be a successful writer in LA and have total creative control without corporate intervension. So i was stuck with my disappointment. Am i gonna be a failure for the rest of my life? What if i never reach my goals? That was exactly the theme of my story, and i was struggling to find the theme of my story back then. What happens when you don't have a single external thing in your life that you want? When people around you die and you lose your career and you live in a literal dystopia? I just couldn't find the answer. Then i looked inside, the only place i had control of. I can't make my life better, but that doesn't mean i can't make myself better, by constant learning, seeking truth and changing my behavior. and this in my opinion would be pointless without a god, who has created me and wants me to be like that. He doesn't want me to be a great writer or artist, he just wants me to be a better human being, who doesn't get corrupted by his desires of escaping poverty and getting wealthy by all means. I still don't feel whole and complete, but i guess i've found my purpose in life. Even if i don't get to make that TV show, i can still live inside my story, and share the journey with the protagonist.
Sorry, Tyler. I recently commented a bad comment. But I'd rather thank you. You taught me how to write a logline, a short film (forever), a screenplay, dialogues, etc. I admit that your channel is the only one out there that focus mainly on screenwriting. Much love ❤
Okay, I'm just half way through the video, but I just wanted to say I'm really glad to hear you say all this things and having this big realizations... When I found your channel months ago I found your videos and tips really useful and interesting. But despite that, I was not fully able to connect with your personality. I don't know how to put it but a part of me felt like you were not being entirely genuine... Now I'm glad to see you also seemed to have realized about it and I just hope you do well brother Update after finishing the video: ... I really didn't expected this to go so deep... I think this is probably one of the best speeches I've seen in a yt video... I don't know if you believe in God Tyler, but I do, and you speaking all this things was like hearing God putting into words many of the things I had already seen, I just haven't heard it so clearly before. Wether you believe in the Bible or just see it as another story, your ideas and understanding of this world and of human beings is really close to what I found as truth in that book. To me God is the source of true love and without Him... Without it, if you prefer, I believe we would be really lost. Thanks for making this video and reminding me that.
Hey Tyler! I appreciate everything you are doing. I’m a 19 year old living in Australia. I have been watching you videos since high school and these have been my main source of information on storytelling. I have watched an uncountable amount of channels on the topic of storytelling but none of them were as insightful as yours. When I started film school I was the youngest in my class but I already I felt as though I had a greater understanding of story than my peers. Every time I would read one of their scripts I would recommend a video of yours and it would make their vision a lot more clear. I have graduated film school with a very successful short film and am now in the middle of writing my first feature which I will be filming last next year. I would like to say thank you for giving me a proper understanding of storytelling. I use everything you have taught me and without you I wouldn’t nearly know as much as I do.
Get help with your script: www.practicalscreenwriting.com
You will likely never see this but I’ll write it anyway.
I’m from Zimbabwe and I’ve have worked with a number of writers in Germany and South Africa, many of whom would regularly reference or use your videos and work when writing or revising their stories and scripts.
And so wherever your journey takes you, just remember that the value you’ve added to people is real and immense. You don’t know then and you won’t meet them, but there are there… we are here.
Good luck Tyler
Thank you for saying so. I will continue being here for you all. Best of luck!
yo my guy i'm from Zim too. i'd like to know hows been your journey so far? i'm trying to break out. Tyler is the one who got me started on this writing Journey.
I am from Egypt, and I have benefited from you very much in the field of screenwriting, so I wish you all the best, and that you are in the best condition, my friend.
Thank you very much!
Just wanted to say that I have applied your teachings on Philosophical Conflict in my characters and scripts and as a result have won two consecutive screenwriting awards at my university. Thanks!
Excellent, Blake! Great work!
BIG character arc! Realisation can be extraordinarily difficult and heartbreaking but absolutely worth walking through the fire for. All of the great work you do in order to support other writers to become better writers continues... Listening to your story gives us great insight and hope. Tyler I am soo pleased for you - you are free!
Free at last!!
You need to be here. We need you. We can learn a lot from your journey. And the world needs stories outside Hollywood. Stories that bring a positive change. Stories that not only entertain but also show the truth of life, give hope, and inspire to be a better person. Stay and help us write those stories, please. I've learnt a lot from you. English is not my first language, but I can still use your advice.
Thank you for saying so, Monika.
Very good speech, unfiltered! Glad you spoke your truth about Hollywood regardless of the repercussions to your brand. Keep breaking the mould with storytelling.
Will do!
Nice to see you back Tyler. Keep up the videos. Love them.
Write, make films small scale, stay away from the cesspit that is Hollywood.
Brother, you've found the path of honesty and humility and I believe nothing but good will come to you if you stay on it.
Hello, i am from Indonesia - Jakarta. First time learn screenplay writing, your channel was very helpfull. I always listening to your channel again and again when i am in the middle of going somewhere or write it down when i am on my desk. Thanks a lot Tyler, you inspired me a lot.
Glad to hear it. Keep going!
Tyler, great job on the positive change arc on your conflict between Hollywood Vs Internet! Hope you keep having more positive change arcs and even hopefully a flat arc someday!
Also, it’s fine that you haven’t posted in a while, it’s ultimately your decision and your personal life and health that you should focus on first.
(Love the optimism and stoicism btw)
Thank you, Noah!
Hey Tyler, I just wanted to say thank you so much for being honest about yourself and your journey. I will say, that we hadn't always seen eye to eye, but the fact you have grown this much and been honest with yourself and your audience to level, has given me a lot of respect for you for putting this out there. And yes, I'm a writer too and started out at a young age, so I really relate to your experience.
What do you mean by "and not a have a job" we are your job, teaching rookies how to write. I'm going through something similar over on my side of the world 🇯🇲. I know it's necessary. Sometimes, feels like a hill on your back being so young (18). Be safe and keep doing what you're doing. Life feels a bit lighter knowing you're not the only one on this journey.
I respect so much the open and heartfelt exploration of your journey. Have enjoyed your channel for years.
Glad you enjoy it!
I felt every word you said so deeply. Only those of us who have gone through what you are describing know how it feels. It’s so uncomfortable yet liberating. It’s like a new way of seeing something and once you get there it’s impossible to unsee. You finally become aware of the malicious software running your unconscious mind and you are able to detach and find solace and peace in the present moment because you realise you were whole all along. It doesn’t mean that you abandon your goals but it means a reframing of those goals to best align to what truly matters to you. As creatives we tend to have a desire to prove ourselves to others to such extend that we lose touch with why we do what we do in the first place. Our urges to be seen and validated are so heightened by these feelings of insecurity (specially financially) that desperation replaces passion. We create our ego in these fantasies where we feel we’ve arrive to the gold land, not knowing the ego is what’s keeping us unsatisfied. It’s important that we design our life to our liking and our own idea of success, so that we don’t climb the wrong ladder of success. The industry preys on that feeling of inadequacy and insecurity. It’s normal to go through what you’re going through, so many of us have been there or will be there. I’m sure you will come out this season with a greater understanding of yourself and more assurance of the steps you’re taking towards the life you want. Thank you for making me feel seen.
I’ve been following your channel for probably years and your content has really helped me craft my story in my comics. I just wanted to say I’ve appreciate your work, it’s some of the top stuff on the internet! I look forward to your coming videos.
Thank you! More great things to come.
"Love is that which enables choice. Love is always stronger than fear. Always choose on the basis of love." Don't get caught up in trying to optimize for good vs bad.
I honestly did not expect this to be as moving and powerful as it was. This feels so extremely positive and awake. I hope this begins a shift wider within our professional community and beyond. As we say in Aotearoa, keep up the good mahi.
Before the algorithm showed me your channel, storytelling was a craft that really escaped me. I could appreciate a good story but the mechanics were a total mystery.
Like a light in the dark, your lessons have illuminated its mysteries so that I could see.
Everytime you upload, I think to myself, "nice! A new tyler video, can't wait to watch it!" Because I know its going to be good. I know its going to teach me something I didn't know before. Your honesty is authentic, your willingness to be vulnerable and teach others is authentic.
There are some other good channels out there on youtube if you wanted to know more about writing but when it comes down to it, I would rather watch a Tyler Mowery video and feel like I walked away with some real value.
So I just want to thank you for sharing your insights with us, sharing your story, and showing us the mechanics behind the magic of storytelling.
I know the path of life can be dark and foggy, and it can cause you to doubt the steps you took. You may not end up where you thought you wanted to be when you started, but thats what life is. I just want you to know that no matter where your path ends, know that it was not fruitless. Some of the steps you took helped show others the way.
I hear the shift happening, even as the end is unclear. Take courage! I hope to see what you make, and I hope you always make not out guilt or fear, but out of love. I've been helped recently by some of your storytelling breakdown videos to begin an important project of mine, and doing so catalyzed many changes that had ripened, so thank you.
Thank you so much!
Oh goodness, I feel for you Tyler! It's hard to go through an ego death this major. I'm going through one myself having moved to a different country on my own that I thought would make me happy and failing miserably. Wherever you go, there you are. The key is truly to feel whole inside like you said. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you, Liv! Best of luck!
I'm very happy you've been on a journey that's taken you to a better place spiritually. I appreciate that you're sharing this with us.
Over the past year or so, I've myself been undergoing a realization that because of Hollywood's "storytelling values", the story I've been working on for such a long time may never be shared with the world the way I wanted to. That was heart-shattering for me.
My project is a four-part fantasy story with many philosophical and spiritual themes at its core, which I don't think mainstream Hollywood would be able to appreciate. So as of now, I am working on finishing up the first script in the series and adapting it into a digital picture book with text on screen and background music, AKA a visual novel.
I still feel sad that my story may not reach as many people as I wanted to, but I do believe I have what it takes to execute it well in this other medium 🥰
Tyler. Thanks for sharing. Same thing happened to me. In order to make sense of the transition, it really helped me look into Jung's concept of Individuation, or becoming whole. James Hollis also wrote about this transition in great lengths.
I’ve gone through some life changes like this in my own life. So much so that I’ve found I don’t want to do anything because I’m content.
Even so I went to Austin for comedy recently and discovered myself to knew depths. Like you’re saying, I discovered it was a world I had no desire to be a part of.
I have much more respect for you for choosing the path of being real than if you were a “successful” Hollywood phony.
You've been one of my biggest sources of knowledge and understanding when it comes to stories. Now I want you to know that you should not feel guilty if you haven't been that active on this platform. The love that you have for the people around you and yourself , that matters so much more to your audience than tons of videos. From my perspective, the hardest part of all of this is accepting, especially recognizing. You have achieved it. I know that no matter how much you tell yourself you're doing better, you would still feel bad or guilty or as if you haven't done enough (speaking from personal experience). I don't have that same exact experience as you, I can't say I do, and it's different (what you're going through) but try to forgive yourself. Try to accept what you have done or what you have not done. It may sound unthinkable because it's too painful. Because it may sound selfish right now. However, try doing it. Just advice. That's what I wanted to say. Thank you for being such a great teacher in storytelling and simply a good person.
Thank you for your kind words. I will take them to heart.
Tyler thank you for making this video. The working conditions of writers in hollywood is a reality and its a real tragedy to be in a position where one feels they must sell their soul and physical wellbeing just for a shot to make it. I think you are right that we have the power to make our own stories so long as we practice our craft. In this society that is mired in malaise and that so often prioritizes fracturing over connection (with people, with the ecosystem, overcoming narrow-mindedness etc) I feel its going to be an inportant time for storytellers to shift the culture in a direction that confronts the realities were we face annihilation and ego death and come out on the other side with love and meaning. These stories are gonna be important guidelines for how we may want to navigate the decay of institutions and other challenges.
Yes! You’re right on the money
An interesting perspective for sure, I hope this new lease on life serves you well, and being back "home" can always be a great thing too.
Please continue to share more. Expose the corruption within the failing system that is Hollywood. Keep inspiring people. This video reached me on a deep level. Thank you Tyler
You are always an inspiration, a beam of light. Despite what you said, I have never seen you give less than all you could, high or low, always from the heart. Your radiance is unmistakable, in your work and in your life.
Everyone needs to hear this right now. Thank you.
Hello Tyler, I join my voice with the others below in saying that your content is just excellent and so inspiring. I'm happy to see you !
Thanks so much! More to come very soon.
You are my idol I learned like everything about screenwriting from you and your channel and i even have notes of what you taught in your videos😅. I have made a whole book about what you taught in your videos. Keep it up Sir👍🏼👍🏼
For whatever reason I needed to hear that. Thank you
Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us, Tyler! Honestly, I got a little teary eyed watching because I want to move back with my parents in Georgia while I'm still in film school. I live in southern California.
Follow the Truth not your Ego! And it will lead the way for you. Best of luck
Man so glad I found your channel. Love the exploration and desire to grow. Sounds like your skill acquisition and growth isolated you from people who are seeking the fame and fortune of it all.
Appreciate your candor on this. God is calling you to use your gifting to tell the stories He has for you.
Thank you for being BRAVE SIR
I had my own death of the ego too, i think. But it was very long. First of all, i had a horrible experience during a short film in college. I had a lot of ambition and ego before that; a lot of energy and will to seek my goal. But after that, i was internally destroyed. I didn't have ambition, i didn't like myself, and i temporarily left my goal. Over time, i started to recover my self-esteem and my goal, and it gave me a lot of frustration, because it now was a DELAYED goal. It was the most depressive time in my life. But i kind of had to advance into it, externally, to realize that i shouldn't suffer it; i should be enjoying this journey.
And now, after years, i would say, i'm not the most balanced person i know, but i am the most balanced i've been in a long time. A mid point between the super-ambitious goal, and having no ambition at all. I didn't remember this partial feeling of being at peace, that i now feel. A big part of it was just understanding that i'm different to most people, and that most people won't accept it. That i should stop looking for the acceptance of everyone else, and i should, first of all, accept myself. That is a work in progress.
Certainly, your work has done a lot for me and a lot of people, Tyler. You showed us, through your own experience, that stories are more real than what we think, and ultimately, the understanding of stories is a lot similar to our understanding of life.
Thank you for sharing your story. These journeys allow us to grow and change into our best version. Keep going!
You've been watching Clark Kegley's videos, haven't you? 😆 Good stuff! Best of luck on your ongoing journey, Tyler. So much of your writing advice has been greatly valuable for me, and I hope the best for you.
Awakening, Tyler! Dark night of the soul is behind you now.
Profound & very timely, Tyler. Thank you. 🌿
I knew you were smart. But now I know you’re wise. Follow your own path. The future of entertainment is ours 🙌🏾
Hola, soy de chile , wow llore como 2 veces al verlo 😢😢 y me alegra el recorrido que has echo porque personalmente también me paso algo parecido y me cambio 180 grados la vision que tenia de mi mismo y de lo que era, pensaba que ya estaba lo suficientemente consciente de las cosas que hacia bien o mal, solo para darme cuenta que estuve equivocado y sesgado todo este tiempo.
En ese proceso me tope con las teorias de carl jung y creo que fue en el momento ideal ya que bien dice: "lo que resistes persiste, lo que niegas te somoete, lo que aceptas te transforma". Y finalmente creo que esa es la clave en todo rste proceso, eliminar las barreras que separan nuestra inconsciente de nuestra parte consciente, porque tampoco significa negar nuestros sentimientos sino de llegar a un equilibrio entre esas dos partes, esa experiencia me ha ayudado a entenderme mejor y debido a eso estoy pensando en hacer por primera vez mi propio cortometraje con las cosas que tengo a la mano, y tu canal me ha ayudado mucho a aprender sobre el proceso de escritura y me ha inspirado a poder concentrar mi experiencia en algo tan transformador y maravilloso como lo es la escritura, espero con ansias todos tus proximos videos, un saludo y buen viaje.😁😁✌🏻✌🏻
i deeply resonate with this video.
Best of luck brother.
Thank you so much Tyler for this... The best lemonade you can make out of this, is if you wrote a script that can be made to a film about your journey in Hollywood, and how you make it out of the system, being a successful internet writer... It can make a good film...
Cheers, and all the best in your endeavors...
Thank you Tyler for sharing this! I have learned a lot from you ❤
You're welcome!
I will never set foot in California; let alone Hollywood. And I'm glad you didn't drink the Kool-Aid and got sucked into their bullshit. Moving out of there was most definitely the best thing you could've done.
And it's because of your bravery and choosing to hold on to your ideals, you've elevated yourself from a great UA-camr to an honest-to-God great UA-camr (in my eyes, anyway).
I appreciate the kind words, CJ. Hope you enjoy the videos for years to come!
Congrats on your character arc.

*Smokes DMT once
Just like me fr fr
Lmao
Dear Tyler, Look at the numbers and look at what you have done, you may not have a full grasp of how much influence you have on the world, an I am pretty sure the comments would give you a hint , I am from Nigeria and I can tell for sure there's so much Love from me and those following you... Thank you so much for the influence and knowledge and cant wait to hear from you and work with you in the near future
Amazing update.
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.””
Matthew 11:28-30 ESV 😀
The Ego is one of the greatest enemies in Stoic philosophy. Take a look at Jocko Willink and his take on 'Good".
Tyler Mowery, you son of a Son. It's beautiful to see where you are in your journey. This is proof that you have skin in the game; the story of Story is rewriting your story. Many artists go from birth to death without letting that happen. I'm curious to hear who some of your great guides have been on this adventure. Some of my great guides: Christ, Buddha, Thich Nhat Hahn, Jonathan Pageau, John Vervaeke, Truby, Dostoevsky, Peterson...
I have had many guides. More recently, Santos Bonacci and Jonathan Maxwell have been illuminating.
@@TylerMowery Thanks for sharing. I strongly encourage you to go on a deep story engineering dive into Christianity and work out how it works on a technical level. I've been doing this for 2 years and it's astounded me. Use your best Tyler tools: competing viewpoints, set pieces, motifs, 4 corner opposition, story circles (and how they fractal), etc. And if you ever want an ally with this... Wishing you well 🙏
That death is a pretty … umm “heavy “ word.
Direction from here on out… will challenge you… Im right there with u man…
Speech less
Love it!!!
I think great craftsmen can serve themselves and people in general, but great artists only ever serve the art.
Maybe this is you moving from being a craftsman to being an artist. They serve antithetical ends. When the artist engages in the action of art, the artist works to be as no one. The artist is the sieve of art. I’ve done a couple videos addressing the nature of art, maybe they’ll help.
Either way, if you’re always honest and upfront about who you are, as long as you’re always truthful about that, Love finds you and remains.
I agree that we are in a “universe of love” but its opposite also exists. And evil people don’t exist - only evil ideologies exist. The artist’s singular burden/duty is to make manifest our ethereal truths in this material reality. That’s it.
But if you want to know the trick of how to exist as an artist while releasing yourself from ego (when engaged in the action of art) it’s understanding that the artist cannot know why we are burden with what we’re burdened with. You write a script, produce a film, show the film, et al. The artist cannot know why. This is the fundamental difference between the craftsman and the artist. The craftsman works to influence, persuade and otherwise alter the world to the outcomes of their own personal sociopolitical positions - even if that persuasion is in pursuit of helping mankind.
The artist operates antithetical to this. Certainly, maybe that book does indeed exist to influence some 8 year old kid to see the world through a different lens. It may also exist simply to be a discarded lump on a sidewalk that 27 years from now someone trips over.
In the end, most craftsmen are not artists and a good number of artists are not craftsmen. Neither is more or less moral, and importance is entirely subjective insofar as anyone can contend.
I think you’re doing a lot of good work. Just don’t let yourself get swallowed up by conspiracies and sociopolitical nonsense. And never forget that facts and truths are opposites. The job of the craftsman is to deal in facts, the artist deals in truths.
Good thoughts here, but those “conspiracies and sociopolitical nonsense” is anything but nonsense. The veil is lifting, friend. Stay aware and follow Truth no matter how much it attacks your ego.
@@TylerMowery Again, you seem to conflating truth with fact.
Your rebuttal here is that there is something factual that proves whatever conspiracy may or may not exist.
I didn’t even allude to any specific conspiracy, but rather just noted that your language had that air about it with regards to Hollywood.
No one is confused about how deals get done in Hollywood; no one’s confused about the prevailing ideology; no one’s confused about the rampant exchange of sex for favors in Hollywood, and that yes, just like every industry, there are predators.
But I don’t think there needs to be some kind of ideological crusade here. It’s like you’re exchanging one crusade for another. And that definitely is not the death of ego.
The only thing that matters is - do you have a story to tell? If you do, go tell it. There’s no need for anything other than that; no other motivation than that. Just tell whatever story you have to tell.
Yeah! Other mediums! Let’s goooo!
Im glad i subbed
"Gooood...,goooood,hhuuaaah!!hhhuuaaah!!,very good!!!!",
"come...wvvvveeee MAuuuusssst oivoid daaauw spOOTlieeeghTT."
God Bless you ❤️
I missed you, I love you brother.
It takes a lot of guts to be so vulnerable on UA-cam. Well done. Some of your observations are very good, we do live in a world of love. But we are not whole. That is why we develop. The character arc is the journey forward. Not static. Buddhism may say you have it all in yourself. But Christianity says you have it all in God, and he is extending it to those he loves. I don't mean to command your views here. I hope that I am humbly adding to the dialogue. You are a sharp and thoughtful guy and if you keep searching you will find the truth. I pray blessings upon you.
Thank you brother
I am a filmmaker and I am also going through this.
really cool!
Your greatest work yet. 🙌
Appreciate that
When you say "out east", where are you referring to?
Usually this means on the opposite side of where you'd find California so perhaps he's in the New York, Florida, Maine, etc area...
Legend.
Tremendous video my brother, you have a lot of courage for this. You speak on suffering and guilt so I wish to offer you a small lesson that was given to me: Our Lord Jesus Christ came not to free us from suffering but to transform suffering into the currency of redemption. ✝🙏 God bless you and feel free to reach out to me if you wish to speak on anything including ego!
The cheekbones of it all
Lmao
So... is Tyler still writing and planning on making his own films?
Time will tell
this was intense
You talking about your experience w Hollywood validates one opinion of mine as a non north american. Los Angeles and Hollywood is the real sin city.
The box office is failing. Hollywood has lost their way of connecting to an audience. They use way too many IPs and do not respect the source material. They were unable to recreate new stars for the next generation. The ratings for the award shows have failed. Movie theaters are expensive for the customer. You don’t have to live in Hollywood to make a movie anymore. We have crowding funding sites to help fund your project. I hope a crowd-funding movie beats a Hollywood movie at the box office. Once it happens, it will change our industry as we know it. The people will leave LA in droves.
2:49 i assumed my familly was gaslighting me again/failing,and they were playing the star treck noise with their phones,
but a bird is saying the same thing like 20 times in the video,who do they want to talk to?...
How are you doing bro?
Tyler, I understand your primary goal was writing screenplays and making your feature film. However, I think you've limited your options significantly. Your talent, intelligence and professional skills can be successfully applied in fiction, theater, short films, audio plays, and graphic novels. Personally, I, for example, watch your videos in hopes of writing a video game script. You would even more enrich the gaming industry with your knowledge and ideas. Thank you for the inspiration. You courageously shared with us the bitterness of disappointment in your past aspirations, the evolution of your personal spiritual path and plans for the near future. Life is unpredictable. There may be an opportunity in the years to come to collaborate with someone in Hollywood who will share your vision and find the right form of expression for your stories. Keep rocking!
life is hard
I would frame it as an identity change or shift, not an ego death.
1:27 dead space?/related?...,
is this going to be dark?...,
useally,if something is like a tv show/movie/game,it useally means they live in a dystopia and everything is bad.
my life is like a story.
who gave this man ayahuasca
Nah it wasn’t a lie you just lost this is when the character gets back up
Why not just clip on the mic?
What the sigma?
I think your screenwriting youtube channel is one of the best out there man. It's scary being on a broken raft in the middle of a turbulent and foggy ocean. Survive............ Survive and make it to the beach.
Thank you for saying so. I will keep bringing you great videos very soon!
After your ego death you’re supposed to enter act 3 and face the climax dude…
Uh oh….
I am quite certain that this is not what ego death is...
How incredibly reflective, sincere, and humble. Welcome back home🏡... now the master of both worlds, so to speak💖
Thank you, Tyler, for this honest insight that is STILL teaching us.
I think you're awesome, and your adventure to Hollywood and back would make a pretty good movie 😘
Thank you for the kind words and support!
This video is exactly what people need to hear. I’m in an industry that is heavily ego driven and I’ve had a tough time dealing with that world since covid. I hope more of us get connected with what’s truly important: community, healing, expressing love to others and ourselves. It’s disappointing when you have a talent and want to be included in something that you think is great and extraordinary; and then the curtain is drawn and that world looks completely different. I’m glad you didn’t sell your soul. You’re on the right journey. 🙏🏽❤️⭐️
Yes Asha! Keep seeking Truth. Community > Capital
Thanks for being brave to share it and now take all this new clarity to grow and find new paths. I from Spain but I lived in Los Angeles for 5 years developing my first feature film. For family reasons I had to move back to Spain and I realized that there is where I really wanted to be. Just then, I was able to create my production company, raise the money and make my first feature film which I premiered this year at Miami’s Film Festival. Long story short: we all pass through several character journeys in our lives which lead us to growth, learn and hopefully be better persons. Cheers from Spain.
Congrats on making your first feature film! Yes we must all pass through our own character journeys. Best of luck to you in Spain!

I believe this video will do more for people than you can ever imagine. I really loved connecting with what you said - the lessons learned. There are so many good things here but what struck me the most was the pauses, the SILENCE WAS SO LOUD - quite beautiful. There's so much in silence, I personally love it in film and motion-picture. You are speaking many truths. Thank you for all you do, Tyler - you are on a great path, I look forward to more of you, and your desire to birth another level of storytelling. BELIEVE.
Maybe i shouldn't say this but you are one of. The greatest teacher for me
From :- India 🙏🏽
You are great teacher Tyler, but even a good teachers need to continue an internal growth. I am 50 year old and still restructuring myself toward my goals.
I agree! Keep up the good work, Elina.
Thank you for providing us with your valuable lessons of life. The more i've learned about storytelling in recent years (especially by watching your amazing videos), the more i've realised that it's all about yourself, not about characters, settings and arcs that you want people to see. I live in a third world country, a place where almost all people are struggling and suffering everyday. People don't follow their passions here, they just have two ways ahead of them, either get rich and successful here, or immigrate to find a better life elsewhere. I always saw how hard people failed and how their whole lives were based on just making it out and getting rich. Yet was one of them, i always wanted to immigrate to LA and work as a writer on my TV show in there. To have a good life where i can pursue my dreams and be someone important. Now it just seems impossible, first because of how difficult and expensive it is to immigrate to US (because they have sanctioned the shit out of our economy and we're always in tension with US), and second how hard it is to be a successful writer in LA and have total creative control without corporate intervension. So i was stuck with my disappointment. Am i gonna be a failure for the rest of my life? What if i never reach my goals? That was exactly the theme of my story, and i was struggling to find the theme of my story back then. What happens when you don't have a single external thing in your life that you want? When people around you die and you lose your career and you live in a literal dystopia? I just couldn't find the answer. Then i looked inside, the only place i had control of. I can't make my life better, but that doesn't mean i can't make myself better, by constant learning, seeking truth and changing my behavior. and this in my opinion would be pointless without a god, who has created me and wants me to be like that. He doesn't want me to be a great writer or artist, he just wants me to be a better human being, who doesn't get corrupted by his desires of escaping poverty and getting wealthy by all means. I still don't feel whole and complete, but i guess i've found my purpose in life. Even if i don't get to make that TV show, i can still live inside my story, and share the journey with the protagonist.
Wow. Wise words. Blessings to you, brother. Do not lose hope. God is with you.
Sorry, Tyler. I recently commented a bad comment. But I'd rather thank you. You taught me how to write a logline, a short film (forever), a screenplay, dialogues, etc. I admit that your channel is the only one out there that focus mainly on screenwriting. Much love ❤
Okay, I'm just half way through the video, but I just wanted to say I'm really glad to hear you say all this things and having this big realizations... When I found your channel months ago I found your videos and tips really useful and interesting. But despite that, I was not fully able to connect with your personality. I don't know how to put it but a part of me felt like you were not being entirely genuine... Now I'm glad to see you also seemed to have realized about it and I just hope you do well brother
Update after finishing the video:
... I really didn't expected this to go so deep... I think this is probably one of the best speeches I've seen in a yt video... I don't know if you believe in God Tyler, but I do, and you speaking all this things was like hearing God putting into words many of the things I had already seen, I just haven't heard it so clearly before. Wether you believe in the Bible or just see it as another story, your ideas and understanding of this world and of human beings is really close to what I found as truth in that book. To me God is the source of true love and without Him... Without it, if you prefer, I believe we would be really lost. Thanks for making this video and reminding me that.
Was waiting for ur video forever
Hey Tyler! I appreciate everything you are doing. I’m a 19 year old living in Australia. I have been watching you videos since high school and these have been my main source of information on storytelling. I have watched an uncountable amount of channels on the topic of storytelling but none of them were as insightful as yours.
When I started film school I was the youngest in my class but I already I felt as though I had a greater understanding of story than my peers. Every time I would read one of their scripts I would recommend a video of yours and it would make their vision a lot more clear.
I have graduated film school with a very successful short film and am now in the middle of writing my first feature which I will be filming last next year.
I would like to say thank you for giving me a proper understanding of storytelling. I use everything you have taught me and without you I wouldn’t nearly know as much as I do.
This is some real stuff bro, thank you. Hope you are now more at peace. You're powerful beyond measure, you don't need them.
Thank you, sir.
