The passing down of myth through storytelling. From my conversation with John Bucher (@johnkbucher) of the @JCF_org. youtube.com/shorts/ZOjr3hg…

My latest conversation with John Bucher (@johnkbucher) is now available. We discussed: - Job and life as an ecosystem, following your bliss, and aligning with your soul. - Joseph Campbell, myth, and the monomyth. - Alchemical magic in movies, narratology, and storytelling. - Asking how and why, science, philosophy. - The Three Great Emergences, human consciousness, and Artificial Intelligence. - Group journeys, the collective heroic journey, and setting ego aside. John is a renowned mythologist and story expert who has been featured on the BBC, the History Channel, the LA Times, The Hollywood Reporter and on numerous other international outlets . He serves as Executive Director for the Joseph Campbell Foundation and is a writer, podcaster, storyteller, and speaker. He has worked with government and cultural leaders around the world as well as organizations such as HBO, DC Comics, Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, A24 Films, Atlas Obscura, and The John Maxwell Leadership Foundation, bringing his deep understanding of narrative and myth to a wide array of audiences. He is the author of six influential books on storytelling, including the best-selling Storytelling for Virtual Reality, named by BookAuthority as one of the best storytelling books of all time.

I was delighted to talk to @_RyanGajewski and @THR about the cultural debate over intimacy in film right now. Our societal struggle with facing intimacy is part of a larger issue related to our waning desire to connect with others, resulting in loneliness hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…
