“When one thinks of storytelling, the forces of good and evil certainly come to mind. Without that conflict the story lacks the forward motion so important to captivate our imaginations. When we have the opportunity to start at the beginning with a good storyteller they will hold our attention throughout that story to the very end. It is only when we reach that final resolution that we, as an audience, can judge the impact of the story on our consciousness. Some stories will stay with us for days after, especially when they are well told. The images, the characters, and the conflict remain whether we experience those moments on the stage, the screen, or offered by the spoken word when talking to a friend. Film is a celebration from a creative mind, where the craft of writing and the art of storytelling are combined to produce a special moment of magic.” Jack McAdam Jack W.
