The Conversation on Cinematic Storytelling Continues on KvibeTV!

The third part of the new KvibeTV episode on cinematic storytelling is available now and whether you’ve been screenwriting for a while and are just looking to brush up on your skills and knowledge a bit, are thinking of making your first foray into writing, or you’re just curious about the craft, you don’t want to miss this one.

In this installment of the series, Cinematic Storytelling (Ep.3 / Pt 3 of 4) - Act Two:  The Build Up, Kvibe founder/producer/director Khoa Le and actor/writer/producer/host Frank Licari continue their conversation on the fundamentals of the art of screenwriting.

If you’re just tuning into this KvibeTV series for the first time, Frank and Khoa have been friends, colleagues, and collaborators for years now having met on the set of Walt Before Mickey, a film directed by Khoa in which Frank didn’t just have an important role in terms of acting but writing and producing as well.

Licari has been working in the entertainment business for over 25 years and, since first getting his start in the off-Broadway hit Blue Man Group, has guest or co-starred on hit TV shows such as USA Network's Burn Notice and Graceland, ABC's Nashville, Netflix's Bloodline, NBC's Law & Order, and CBS's Dellaventura. He’s also acted in films like Papa with Giovanni Ribisi, Mena with Tom Cruise, and Secrets of the Magic City with Jennifer Lewis.

On top of all that, Licari directed/produced the 2013 world tour of 9-time Grammy winner Jose Feliciano and wrote/produced the fifth season of the #1 hit Bahamian television show, BTC Starmaker. Frank’s also been writing sketch comedy for the past 12 years and is currently the Creative Director/Head Writer here at Kvibe Productions.

If you missed last week’s episode and/or Part #1 before it, you can visit the KvibeTV page to get all caught up, but if you just want to start watching now, no problem. So far, Frank and Khoa have discussed some of common mistakes made by young or aspiring screenwriters—such as overwriting to compensate for a lack of confidence—as well as the importance of building a blueprint for your story in the form of a synopsis or outline before jumping straight into the actual screenwriting phase.

They also shed some light on the process of creating loglines for your story and discussed, in depth, the inciting incident and what the true objective of the entire first act is. They sprinkled in plenty more worthwhile screenwriting advice throughout the first two installments of this KvibeTV series too, so if you’re interested, again, check out the KvibeTV page to watch them.

In this week’s episode, Cinematic Storytelling (Ep.3 / Pt 3 of 4) - Act Two:  The Build Up, Frank talks about the challenges and importance of finding the time to write each and every day which, as he says, is crucial to growing and finding any type of success as a writer.

He and Khoa also discuss writing the dreaded second act in this episode which, for many writers, is the bane of their existence. They talk, in detail, about starting the hero’s journey, the midpoint, and the all-is-lost moment and use some great examples from famous films to help illustrate. Frank also stresses the importance of the writer’s willingness to beat the hero up throughout the second act, physically, emotionally, etc. Because, as he puts it, “You can’t be a hero unless you’re going through insurmountable odds.”
