Sino ako? Find ourselves through writing. Your story enters your creations unconsciously. Write drunk, edit sober. Tahanan (Froi’s first poem in Tungko) Identity (temporal sense, what you think you are) → Essence There is one story in the world. Recurring themes and stories. A hero with a thousand faces. Many heroes, one journey. Developmental stages. Christopher Vogler brought Heroes Journey to film. “Myths are the songs of the universe.”

Reverse films Ideal journey: redemption “kung alam ko lang sana” magandang magsimula sa tao genre vs theme
- lesson, what you are saying, telling
- theme emerges by itself as intentionally write about it
- genre emerges after
A story is beginning, middle, and end but not necessarily in that order. Fact vs story
3 act structure “Suffering is the root of consciousness.” - Dostoyevsky Hidden Father by Kurosawa is where George Lucas got the idea All archetypes are inside us. Outer vs inner journey Heal yourself or other or both

Tao sa loob, tao sa labas Use panlabas to develop panloob. If binitawan na ang panlabas, anong matitira?
