BPS 089: How to Use PIXAR Storytelling in Your Screenplay with Dean Movshovitz

Ever wonder how Pixar continuously puts out hit after hit? What is
the story secret sauce that has created one of Hollywood's most
amazing track records? Today's guest might be able to shed some
light on the answer. On the show, we have screenwriter and
author Dean Movshovitz. Dean wrote the best-selling book
Pixar Storytelling: Rules for Effective Storytelling Based on
Pixar's Greatest Films.

PIXAR STORYTELLING is the first book to offer an in-depth analysis
of the screenwriting techniques and patterns that make Pixar’s
immensely popular classic films so successful and moving. Each
chapter of the book explores an aspect of storytelling that Pixar
excels at. Learn what Pixar’s core story ideas all have in common,
how they create compelling, moving conflict, and what makes their
films’ resolutions so emotionally satisfying.

First released in October 2015, the book has sold over 15,000
copies without any marketing or PR. PIXAR STORYTELLING is taught on
campuses worldwide, from Norway to Argentina, to Northwestern’s
Qatar extension, and is cited in works and books from Finland to
the US to Russia. It has been translated into Vietnamese and is
being translated into Russian.

PIXAR STORYTELLING has proven to be an inspiring, insightful,
approachable, and popular book, which can be used as a gift, a
manual, and a textbook
