Midnight Bath — Where Stories Get Told: Recent Episodes
Bulent Akman
Includes: bee dancing; animal and human consciousness; the great migration from Africa; the horror and the learning behind campfire tales; as well as side trips into the Brothers Grimm and Nietzsche. This was our first recording for Midnight Bath.
Pete, Ilir, Ross, and Bulent approach dramatic dialogue with examples from sources. The challenging issue of writing outside individual gender is raised with some recommendations.
This episode’s guest is Erju Ackman. We tell each other stories about credit, debt and money. Shortly after completing this podcast I went and read David Graeber’s Debt: the first 5000 years. It’s my one book recommendation for 2020.
A brief selection from the material I have used to teach moviemaking to children at summer camps in Poland over the last decade. #almatur #englishwavemoviecamp
From Homer to Shakespeare, Chandler and beyond, we look at the writing process from a variety of perspectives. Above all: everyone is an author. It wasn’t always possible for everyone to express themselves by writing so don’t be lazy, if it’s in you, do it.
Guest: Erju Ackman. Storytelling in many disguises, bees, Grimm, African diaspora, memory and more.
When do we know a story is done? Regardless of medium, whether words, film, software, song or some other, we agreed that a story is done when we turn it in. In other words when the audience has it in their hands, ears, hearts, minds.
