SAMPLE - NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION “I love movies, and I love the study and practice of metaphysics. I’m always looking for clues and keys through the common story lines we share on how to better understand the complex world in which we live. Brent Marchant’s book, Get the Picture?!, dynamically marries movies and metaphysics to serve us with a delightfully engaging, perspec- tive-altering guide to dimensions of understanding to which we may otherwise remain blind. “Brent is an amazingly gifted author with an ability to transmit complex metaphysical concepts in a light-hearted real life dialogue. His tireless enthusiasm for cinema and conscious creation shines through in this intelligent narrative of personal experience and observation. His ability to direct his reader into new perspectives encourages the reader to witness his own life choices with new awareness, ultimately allowing a greater potential for healing and change. “There is an ever-growing awareness spreading throughout our Universe and humanity of conscious evolution, one in which we are searching out ways to accept and activate a greater responsibility as co-creators in our world vision and, indeed, in our own personal lives. Get the Picture?! powerfully and beautifully guides the reader as con- scious creator step by step toward a better understanding of his power and role in creating the life of his choosing.” —Andrea Thiel Connell New Thought Mentor, Speaker and Healer New Leaf Metaphysics “Get the Picture?! provides a new and engaging approach to mastering the processes of conscious creation. The movie analyses provide a mir- ror, allowing you to see how the basic universal spiritual laws are in action in your life.” —Gregory Zanfardino President Moniker Entertainment “Brent’s insights into the heart and soul of Hollywood have been a big influence for my personal viewing choices. He has a true gift of tapping into the key messages of the movie world, going deeper and beyond what seems to be the surface story for purely entertainment purposes.” —Rose-Anne Partridge Founder www.RealLifeChanges.com SAMPLE - NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION “Brent Marchant brings a refreshing viewpoint to his movie reviews by seeking out the meta-message of each film. He uncovers the often-hid- den beliefs, expectations and mindset that draw each character into relationship via their resonant attraction. In so doing, Brent shows us how to look at our own co-creations more lucidly and learn from this cinema verité. Highly recommended!” —Robert Waggoner Author Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self Co-editor Lucid Dreaming Experience magazine “Brent brings light to the movies he covers with such metaphysical insight that you cannot help but be enlightened by the clarity he offers of each movie. He has fun offering his commentaries and helps you to have fun as well.” —Daya Devi-Doolin Author The Only Way Out Is In: The Secrets of the 14 Realms to Love, Happiness and Success! If You can Breathe, You CAN Do Yoga: for Beginners and the Young at Heart Grow Thin While You Sleep: Go Figure! CEO, The Doolin Healing Sanctuary “Brent is the perfect description of ‘balanced’ to me. He recognizes the necessity of having one hand in the real world, while constantly striving to bring the spiritual world into practice and being. Brent’s book, Get the Picture?!, is informative, funny and just plain smart. I’ve concocted many story ideas from his observations and hope to benefit from his musings for many years to come!” —Dodie Ownes Editor SLJ Teen “Brent Marchant truly understands the laws governing how we human beings purposely or inadvertently cause our circumstances. Through his writing, he makes the advanced metaphysical knowledge available SAMPLE - NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION to the average person. He teaches his readers how to consciously create their own lives.” —James Goi Jr. Author How to Attract Money Using Mind Power “An expert on films and the mechanics of the law of attraction, Brent Marchant consistently enlightens his audience. Through this talented author’s eyes, difficult concepts are clarified, made more relevant and, at times, life-changing.” —Mary E. Barton Author Soul Sight: Projections of Consciousness and Out of Body Epiphanies Everyday Telepathy, Clairvoyance and Precognition Experience Tomorrow Today: Dreams that come True “I love Get the Picture?! Brent has found a super-creative way to illustrate the concepts behind conscious creation, and even films I previously thought I had no interest in suddenly become intriguing! It’s also a great gift—thought provoking and useful, it paves the way for some really interesting conversations.” —Kerstin Sjoquist Creator Bliss Trips Guided Meditations “Brent Marchant takes movie watching to a whole new level of en- joyment. I’ll never look at movies in the same way. In his book, Get the Picture?!, Brent has taught me how to find the deeper messages and then use these stories in my own conscious creations in life. In addition, I have found so many wonderful movies that I seem to have missed somehow! Thank you, Brent, for this fabulous work!” —Katana Abbott, CFP® Life and Legacy Wealth Coach Radio Host, Smart Women Talk www.SmartWomensCoaching.com SAMPLE - NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION “Brent Marchant reminds us in his amazing book, Get the Picture?!: Conscious Creation Goes to the Movies, that we are what the movies are made of—light—and invokes the ever-present truth that we create our reality through our consciousness. Never before has there been a book like it. In its glorious explanations of how we create, that we create and be careful of what you create, he invokes the wisdom of the ages in the most entertaining way possible. Bravo, Mr. Marchant!” —Joanne Helfrich Author The Way of Spirit: Teachings of Rose “Hats off to Brent Marchant and his metaphysical expertise! His writing style carries the movie lover to higher levels of awareness. Brent’s keen intuition shines light on the gentle nuances in movies drawing the viewer in to fully engage with their own intuition and life path! Choosing a film for entertainment now becomes a soul experience. Truly fabulous!” —Jenn Royster Intuitive Counselor, Spiritual Teacher Radio Host, The Jenn Royster Show http://www.JennRoyster.com “Movies and metaphysics are magically intertwined in this guide that takes the reader on a theatrical journey with the author as he dissects pivotal films that have both shaped and described an era. Imagine sit- ting in a darkened projection room with someone I consider a ‘spiritual Roger Ebert’ as the images flow before you, beckoning you to step into the scenes and explore their meaning. Brent Marchant views movie as metaphor and offers the reader the invitation to become conscious creators, using the film content as more than entertainment, but, in addition, life-enhancing tools.” —Edie Weinstein Colorfully Creative Journalist, Transformational Speaker, Radio Host, It’s All About Relationships, Author, The Bliss Mistress Guide To Transforming The Ordinary Into the Extraordinary, and Opti-Mystic who sees the world through the eyes of possibility—much like Brent SAMPLE - NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION SAMPLE - NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 1 INTRODUCTION: COMING ATTRACTIONS 3 CHAPTER 1: IT’S JUST WHAT I WANTED—SORT OF 13 Understanding—and Overcoming—“Creation by Default” The Really Big Bang: “Fat Man and Little Boy” Computers Don’t Make Mistakes: “Colossus: The Forbin Project” Up the River: “Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse” Building for the Future: “Under the Tuscan Sun” Dance Away the Heartache: “The Turning Point” Bonus Features CHAPTER 2: PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T IT? 45 When What We Think We Know Doesn’t Match What We Perceive Leading Lives of Quiet Desperation: “Ordinary People” Seeking Asylum: “King of Hearts” (“Le roi de coeur”) When Life Doesn’t Add Up: “A Beautiful Mind” Cynicism on Wry: “Wag the Dog” The Big One That Got Away With It: “Big Fish” Bonus Features CHAPTER 3: SELF-ACTUALIZED CINEMA 77 Celluloid Lessons from Metaphysical Masters Shopping

Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

She was discovered while attending Westlake School for Girls in Bel Air, California, when actress Charlotte Rae and producer Norman Lear came to the school to authenticate scripts for their new show. Ms. Rae was so taken with the vivacious eighth grader she convinced producers to create a role for her. Mindy remained on the show for all nine seasons, also traveling to Paris and Australia with her co-stars to produce two successful television movies based on the series. Concurrently, with her role in Facts, Mindy played “Rose Jenko” in Fox’s 21 Jump Street. Other notable television appearances included Diff’rent Strokes, Double Trouble, Charles in Charge, Dream On and Suddenly Susan. In 1983, Mindy appeared in her first professional stage performance in Table Settings, written and directed by James Lapine and filmed for HBO Television. The illustrious cast included Eileen Heckart, Stockard Channing, Robert Klein, Peter Riegart, and Dinah Manoff. She went on to make her feature film debut in The Boy Who Could Fly, which co-starred Colleen Dewhurst, Fred Gwynne and Fred Savage. Mindy took a hiatus from her career to attend university, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology and a Masters in Education. During this time, she studied improvisation and scene work with Gary Austin and Larry Moss.

Chet Walker’s dances, which retain the pelvic thrust of Bob Fosse’s original choreography, are a viciously precise mockery of showbiz bump and grind, enacted by a sexy, sinister, improbably limber ensemble (in skintight carnival gear and medieval costumery). Circus elements created by Gypsy Snider—acrobatics, aerialism, contortionism, juggling, hula hoops—build momentum toward what the ringmaster assures us is “a climax you will remember for the rest of your lives.” That just might be true.

  • Writing Dialogue & Advice from the Pros

    Writing Dialogue & Advice from the Pros

    Writing Dialogue & Advice from the Pros Writing great dialogue is considered an art form. Listening to real-life conversations, watching award- winning films, and learning from the masters will help you craft dialogue that shines on the page. The following writing thoughts and advice are excerpts from Karl Iglesias’ book, The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters. Enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Writing Unrealistic and Boring Dialogue In real life, dialogue is mostly polite conversation. In film, polite conversation is considered bad dialogue, unless it’s witty, sarcastic, or has a unique voice. The reason is that polite chat lacks tension, and tension is the key to dramatic storytelling. As Alfred Hitchcock once said, “Drama is real life with all the boring parts cut out of it.” The key to good dialogue is to understand that it’s not conversation, it’s action. What characters say in a scene should be said to get what they want in the scene. And to determine whether or not your dialogue sounds realistic, read it out loud. Garrison Keillor once advised, “If you read your work out loud, it helps to know what’s bad.” Try it. It works. Dialogue always sounds better in your head. Better to be embarrassed in your room than on the set. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Read Your Dialogue Out Loud Writing authentic, well-crafted dialogue that sparkles, individualizes characters, and entertains the reader is the ultimate challenge for screenwriters, who otherwise may have solid script elements. It’s crucial to attracting talent, which can green-light your script. Writing great dialogue can also sell the writer, for those who excel in this area are highly sought after to the tune of six figures per week for dialogue rewrites.
