The Moral Premise

by: Stanley D. Williams

This book explains how the Moral Premise, a statement of truth about the protagonist’s psychological predicament, is a fundamental part of every successful movie’s structure.

  • Its components and structure

  • A step-by-step method for embedding a true Moral Premise into a three-act screenplay
  • Understand and embrace one of the most fundamental structural aspects of storytelling, the basis for the most popular movies of all time. Use what has proven to be successful – in the process — entertain, delight, challenge and uplift this generation and the ones to come.

  1. – :

    A very interesting look at story writing for the screen or novel, and a great overview of how to structure a story.

  2. – :

    If you get this book, you will never look at movies the same way again. Not only will you have greater appreciation for good movies and less tolerance for superficial ones, but you will be able to tell the difference between the two in detail.

  3. – :

    The Moral Premise is insightful, thought-provoking and unique. I wish more people were writing the kinds of things Stan is writing. It’s a much-needed, fresh approach to the art and craft of writing.
