Welcome to Season 2 of The Film Mechanics Screenwriting Podcast w/ Deri Tyton. Adé Akisanya steps through the podcast with 30 years of award-winning writing experience that is bridging the gap between Black storytellers from America to Nigeria. This episode you'll get to hear Adé and I discuss:
1) Why Should You Practice Writing Fast?
2) Can the Wrong Structure Hurt Your Story?
3) How Do You Properly Develop Your Story Acts?
Adé discusses the importance of writing from a Black perspective and how the Black experience sometimes doesn't fit Aristotle's version of the 3-Act Structure. As a filmmaker that helmed a film in Nigeria, Adé also describe how the Nollywood structure is different from the Western Hemisphere. You might get a 3-4 hour Nollywood movie and how every bit of the movie is relevant.
