Modern Wisdom

ANECDOTE

Creative Arts' Backstage

  • Eric Weinstein emphasizes understanding the "back of house" in creative fields.
  • He compares it to the hidden infrastructure of a hotel supporting the guest experience.
  • Weinstein recommends "Save the Cat," a screenwriting book, which reveals how films are structured around "beats" rather than scenes.
  • These beats, like "The Bad Guys Close In" and "All Hope is Lost," operate on a subliminal level, making stories easily digestible for the audience.
  • He suggests everyone read this book to understand the hidden mechanisms behind storytelling.
