A brand new episode of KvibeTV has just been released and if you have any interest in screenwriting and cinematic storytelling or are just curious about the earliest stages of film and video production, you need to check it out below.

In this installment, Cinematic Storytelling (Ep.3 / Pt 1 of 4) – Screenwriting Fundamentals, director/Kvibe founder Khoa Le sits down with actor/writer/producer and longtime friend, colleague, and collaborator, Frank Licari.


Licari, best known for his performance in the off-Broadway hit Blue Man Group, has been in theater, television, and film for over 25 years. He moved to New York from Canada at the age of 19 to study at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy and, since then, has guest or co-starred on hit TV shows like USA Network’s Graceland and Burn Notice, ABC’s Nashville, Netflix’s Bloodline, NBC’s Law & Order, and CBS’s Dellaventura. He’s also acted in many feature films including Papa, starring Giovanni Ribisi; Mena, starring Tom Cruise; Secrets of the Magic City, starring Jennifer Lewis; and Walt Before Mickey, starring Thomas Ian Nicholas and Jon Heder and directed by Kvibe founder Khoa Le.

Licari produced/directed the 2013 world tour for 9-time Grammy winner Jose Feliciano and wrote/produced the fifth season of the #1 Hit Bahamian TV Show, BTC Starmaker, as well. He’s also been writing sketch comedy for 12 years and is currently the Creative Director here at Kvibe and has several projects in various stages of development.

In this installment of KvibeTV, Cinematic Storytelling (Ep.3 / Pt 1 of 4) – Screenwriting Fundamentals, Licari and Khoa talk about how they first met, which was during times of turmoil on the set of Walt Before Mickey, and some of the common mistakes aspiring screenwriters make, such as overwriting to compensate for a lack of confidence in the story and writing for the wrong reasons.

Licari also stresses the importance of sitting down and coming up with a blueprint for your story before trying to jump right into the screenwriting process and passes on some more great advice for aspiring screenwriters in this episode.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Frank on numerous film and video projects over the years and he’s proven to be an invaluable storytelling and production asset, time and time again. So, whether you’re a young writer just starting out and looking for some advice, a seasoned pro in need of a refreshment or reminder, or you’re simply interested in what goes into telling a story cinematically, you don’t want to miss this installment of KvibeTV!
