'David Baboulene is a story ninja!' Nick Wild, writer/director.
In this short book, David Baboulene explains the invaluable role of the step outline in managing a story development project. Using actual story examples and clear illustrations, he demonstrates its traditional use, updates it for contemporary story management and shows how it links your story inspiration and content to the story's power to grip. David then documents a complete step outline for Bella; a film story you can see grow from the first seed of an idea and carry through to view the final product on the 'big screen' which you can view for yourself, highlighting the key role of the step outline. This is an invaluable guide to every writer - including those who have used a step outline before, as this book also explores and embraces contemporary story psychology.
'David is a genius at script development!' Marc Zammit, producer.

David Baboulene

Author and Principle of DreamEngine Story World

David Baboulene is a published author, filmmaker, story consultant, and Ph.D. academic of story theory. His research has provably shifted the cutting edge of narrative theory from a focus on structuralism to an approach based on evolutionary psychology – factors such as knowledge gaps and subtext – that cause stories to exist and to have such power to grip and intrigue us.

David is one of the first highly qualified story consultants to also have published works of fiction and film deals for his own stories. (See the full list of published works here.)

He has also studied stories back to pre-biblical and Greek times, classical literature as well as talking to big names in contemporary story-telling,.

In a world where history is sacrificed on the altar of political correctness, Tina questions the need to change those stories, but rather learn from them. Find David on the internet on him website, on Facebook ,Twitter.and YouTube. You can contact David through The DreamEngine here
