    These classes are outstanding! I wasn’t sure how these would be, but I am totally bowled over by the amount of usable information delivered in a clear way. Chuck Williams comes alive with his love of story and his deep hands-on knowledge of how stories work. I enjoy watching these as much as I enjoy putting on Disney+.

    Sincerely… This is the best course about Story writing, i have studied. i have read many books about the subject, whatched many videos, paid and free, online classes etc. But nothing come close to what i have learned in these videos. Thank you Mr. Chuck Williams, you are a true professional, great teacher and artist.

    I just finished reading a fantastic book on story called, Directing the Story by Francis Glebas, so I thought I would know a lot coming into this course. Chuck offered a new point of view to storytelling and really surprised me with plenty of gold nuggets of information. He also provided excellent examples to go along with each lesson. I particularly liked the way he explained the ‘3 act structure’ and his ideas on ‘pro-theme vs anti-theme’. Before each workday I would watch one of his lessons, and it would help me create much more clear and emotionally driven storyboards. I would recommend this to anyone from beginner to veteran.

    So I wasn’t too interested in this course, but I have a membership and I thought that there might be a chance that some of the content might help with a script problem I was having. So I took a chance- why not.

    So glad I did. Chuck talked about concepts that I already knew- the difference is he added so much relative commentary and examples that my understanding and skills leveled up- big time. This course turned out to be the secret sauce to the behind the scenes of story construction. It by far has been one of the most valuable courses, for me, that Aaron offers. It’s great to draw and draft and create- but to be able to turn that into something special in terms of story is even better. Thank you Aaron and Chuck, and Dustin.

    This course is super helpful for anyone who wants to tell stories but doesn’t really know how. Chuck Williams explains the basic structure of a good story and how to create your own story using that design. He talks about how Disney writes their stories and talks about their ‘story trust’. Something I learned from him is the concept of ‘mental real estate’. Good teacher and he explains all the concepts he teaches with clips from movies. And Chuck’s raspy voice is pretty cool too.

  8. KIM (verified owner)

    WOW! This course is sooo compelling! The wisdom and thought that is put into each lesson in this course will help you tell any type of story!
