George you have a beautiful smile
I have always though HBO brought out some great material, glad to see McKee agrees
I wondered why Mckee would say “bloody” in his rant, then I realized that Brian Cox is british.
Outstanding! I saw him in London and as well the outstanding quality of the stuff he was teaching, part of the fun of it was that he’s such a character. Pure New York! It was great to see this clip – even seeing the guy’s confidence and the way he holds himself is inspiring. Writers aren’t wimps, they’re people who will sacrifice all to tell the story society refuses to hear. What’s scary is that the older I get, the more I become like this guy!
Yes, a DVD volume of a complete seminar would make for a very happy christmas.
Thanks for the kind words everyone. We’ve posted some seminar clips on our official YouTube page. And we’d love to hear your thoughts about online courses and what kind of memberships you think would be worthwhile for him to offer (just drop us an e-mail through YouTube).
I agree with this statement. Having missed his Canadian seminars twice last year, and lacking the necessary fundages for a plane ticket out to L.A./New York, I’d definitely pay a monthly for such a website. Wouldn’t even hesitate. Screenwriting tips are a time a dozen online, yet they can be quite misleading. I trust McKee’s advice and his wisdom could sure help a lot of us folks on the interwebz!
Good Lord, what I wouldn’t give for someone to put his entire seminar on youtube, lol. Wishfull thinking. Or…what if someon had a websight totally dedicated to Robert Mckee’s seminars and class…I’d pay a couple a bucks a month for membership to that site.
That was excellent…it could have been a full hour. What a great teacher McKee is…and George is an excellent interviewer.
