movie theater become a better storyteller brief review

I’m on a mission to become a better storyteller in 2020 by studying 100 movies, 50 screenplays, and 25 women’s fiction books in 2020. I write a brief review that identifies a key writing tip or technique fiction writers and screenwriters can use in their own projects. I’ll update this post semi-monthly so you can see my progress. I hope you find an interesting new film to watch or book to read!
