i recently bought the book, and everytime i reference it, i gain new insight on the process. this is invaluable information. i started this journey of writing with many misconceptions, and John is helping me deconstruct some of the myths that i had constructed in my mind. i see now how much work writing truly is, but i also know that end result is going to be fulfilling. it is probably going to take longer than i first imagined, but there is no substitute for good storytelling, and i intend to get better at this craft with the helpful info i am getting. thanks so much.
Mr. Truby is a genius! I cant wait until May! His master class on story is going to be life changing at the very least. Im SO glad I came across his videos!
At the beginning, Truby talks about writing a spec script as a calling card and then the progression through the ranks. As an example, Chris Carter started on Disney shows in the 80s, then created The X Files, which had Vince Gilligan send in a spec script for, got him a writing gig and he went on to create Breaking Bad, which had Peter Gould start in as a writer with spec., now Gould is showrunner for "Better Call Saul", which may in turn generate another spec script, a writing gig and another showrunner in turn.
John Truby's Book of 'THE ANATOMY OF STORY' is really a GREAT BOOK!!! I really admire this book. ❤️ I love his books and interviews. ❤️ John Truby is and will always be the inspiration and motivator for every aspiring screenwriters and filmmakers. ❤️
This video is 9 years old now and TV is a very different world, with the various streaming services available. Can anyone point me to something as good as this, but with more up to date advice?
This is so outdated but even then, I do believe there are some exceptions for unexperienced to be able to run a show, Seinfeld being one of them. Not Jerry nor Larry had experience (I believe Larry wrote for a show but only for a while) and they played a huge role in changing the status quo. You also have It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Rob McElhenney who at the time only had a few minor roles and he was also made executive producer
John: I realize this question is months after the program to which I am questioing, but how is a TV - Internet writing a mini-series handled as far as scripting it goes?

Thanks Sumit! We are glad to finally be able to post this one. Our original "Anatomy Of Story" with Mr. Truby has really helped a lot of artists.
Truby, please make an anatomy of story video masterclass. I have the book but I am a visual learner so I would love a video version. Thanks!
I wish there would be an audiobook version of the book
This is the video masterclass - right here on RUclips

I wish he'd update this, as the current advice isn't the same regarding "write a spec of an existing show" as it was 8 years ago.
What a wonderful resource. Outstanding, thank you.
outstanding content! Thank you!
Thanks, appreciate you watching.

Even this comment. would be. the MOST IMPORTANT comment. according to John Truby.
