Film Courage: What is the inner movie method?
Viki King, Author and Film Consultant: The Inner Movie Method is what we’ve been talking about. It’s the movie that’s in your heart, just the conversation between you and you to allow it to come out of your heart and onto the page. Understanding things like if you’re getting your cart before your horse which is a lot of times humans have where you’re not going any place. Why aren’t you going any place? Because you’ve flipped it. You’re moving, you’re pulling at it instead of allowing it to emerge. That’s what the Inner Movie Method is.
Film Courage: What’s an example of cart before the horse? Suppose I’ve written something and you’ve looked at it and you can tell this about what I’ve written?
Viki: As you were saying before, you’ve created the movie, if you’re thinking of the Q&A at the theater and that people are going to criticize you, that would be definitely cart before the horse because now it’s a standstill because Why should I create it if I’m going to go to the theater and be criticized? You’re right, that wouldn’t work. Then do it the other way. Allow the horse to flow. Get really excited about it. Understand that it’s a beautiful thing and that people come and they will respond to it in a beautiful way and maybe there’ll be a couple that will be critical and that’s okay because you know that it’s a beautiful thing.
Film Courage: Again going back to flow. Have you ever found yourself rigid or has flow been your makeup? Some people pride themselves on being rigid. It’s very much part of the discipline that’s in them.
Viki: Yeah, everybody’s got their way. I have one client who he calls me and says I’m vacuuming! That means that he’s about to go in – deep – and not come out of the house for weeks because he’s writing something, whatever a novel or a script. That’s his way of doing it. He prepares, gets ready for it.
