Setup

We read pages 7-8 and discuss a fundamental aspect of storytelling: setup. We look at how the Coens put pieces on the board and advance them, and how these opening moves set—and set off course—expectations for what's to come. We also discuss Theater 2 at the Lincoln Square 13. >>> IMPORTANT LIVE EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT: If you're in NYC, join us at the Dunkunsthalle gallery at 64 Fulton Street, New York, NY (DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN) on April 4th at 7:30 pm for a screening of artist and filmmaker Z Behl's exhilarating short film Geppetto 2.0 and stick around for a Q+A afterwards.
