It all starts with

A Good Story

Let’s tell yours.

SC. 02Why story
2A

Story connects us.

(beat)

2B

When it rings true, it moves people.

(beat)

2C

And people move everything.

Most people are sitting on a story worth telling and have no idea how to tell it. Our whole job is finding the true thing — then getting out of its way.

SC. 03The method

Every film we make is built in three acts.

The Stories by Mac method: a story arc rising from the hook, through the turn, to the payoff THE HOOK THE TURN THE PAYOFF
I Act one

Hold attention.

The first five seconds decide everything. We earn them with something true, not something loud.

II Act two

Create connection.

Nobody connects with a feature list. They connect with a person. We find the person in your story and hand them the mic.

III Act three

Move people.

People forget what they’re told. They remember what they felt. Every frame builds toward the moment it lands, so people walk away moved to do something about it.

SC. 04Now showing

Two ways to tell it. One way of making it.
