I continue to teach classes in story structure and script analysis in the San Francisco Bay Area. Currently, no classes are scheduled. However, a two-evening workshop is planned for the Spring, 2010, through the San Francisco Film Society. Look for an announcement on this or the SFFS website (www.sffs.org) in the coming months:

 

Studies in Story Structure: Fargo and No Country for Old Men
(through the San Francisco Film Society, dates and times to be determined)

Two films, each with an “average” guy attempting a heist, a psychopathic killer wreaking havoc and a good sheriff trying to make sense of it all. But the irony which infuses the Coen brothers’ 1996 Fargo is conspicuously absent by 2007 in No Country for Old Men. A comparison of two story structures, as well as two points of view.
