I had so much fun doing this podcast episode with martial arts, self-defense, and violence expert (and fellow writer) Wim Demeere. We discussed all the foregoing topics and more in the context of the principles of good storytelling. For example:
Why the fascination with violence generally? And how do you depict it compellingly on the page or screen?
Why did the Equalizer writers introduce Denzel Washington's character the way they did...and what does that introduction suggest about character introductions generally?
Why was the bathhouse scene in Eastern Promises so riveting...even though it was so unrealistic?
And much, much more!
